I2C Commands etc

[DaveDischord]

Where can I find the i2c commands, address, etc?

[masutokw]

Speed 100k Address 0x32

Commands MOTOR_GET_COUNT 0x02

Send 0x02, Read int32 (4 bytes)

MOTOR_SET_COUNT 0x03 Send 0x03 int32 (5bytes)

MOTOR_SET_TARGET 0x04 Send 0x04+ int32 (total 5bytes)

MOTOR_GET_TARGET 0x05 Send 0x05, Read int32 (4 bytes)

MOTOR_SET_TICKS 0x06 Send 0x06+ int32 (total 5bytes)

MOTOR_SET_DIR_RES 0x7 Send 0x07+ int32 (total 5bytes)

Speed timer frecuency 48khz tick 20,8us At this moment only min value -65535 to +65535 speed 65535-> 1,3s per microstep positive direction speed 30000->0,65s per microstep positive direction speed -15000->0,3125s per microstep negative direction

Resolution 1-> 32 msteps 2->16 4->8 8->4 counter is always 32 microsteps resolution ....

Thanks. I'm trying to write an Arduino library to implement into other codes. I'm sorry if I sound ignorant for asking, but what are the differences between ticks, target, and count. Like, what would the stepper do in sending MOTOR_SET_COUNT vs MOTOR_SET_TARGET vs MOTOR_SET_TICKS (plus 4bytes)? Also, with resolutions, are you to say that sendin MOTOR_SET_DIR_RES + [(uint32_t) value = 1] would set it to 32 msteps, [value = 2] = 16 msteps, etc?

I have wrote some arduino code to check
I havent test it because a have my shield connected to my PC for developing and its bit tricky to dissasemble but compile for atmega328 and should work This code initializes motor counter,move it to position 1000 at 32microsteps stops and return to home position at 16 microsteps resolution

I had compile anuploaded the skecth to mi wemos D1 and works fine with the shield the arduino working code is at [(https://github.com/masutokw/WEMOS-MOTOR-SHIELD-I2C-STEPPER/blob/master/arduino/)]
