Does AccelStepper support all stepper motor drivers? #14

Open joaomamede opened 2 years ago

joaomamede commented 2 years ago

I would like to use it with DRV8825 or with an A4988.

Thanks so much for the software

It supports many STEP/DIR drivers like DRV8825 and A4988 with:

It is a bit wierd, but the plain old non-acceleration Arduino stepper.h library can also support STEP/DIR drivers as a 2-wire motor. The catch is that you need to use one of the pins as "clock" = "DIR" and the the other pin as "data"=STEP and send 4 stepper.h steps per each 1 motor step to get STEP to toggle.
