Using the following code causes the steppers to accelerate before cruising at max speed when the button is first pressed; however all subsequent presses it will rapidly vibrate or not spin at all, I think it starts running at max speed instead of accelerating again. Driver is EasyDriver HW-135, Ste…

[image] aivenr: if (counter % 2 == 1) { stepper1.run(); stepper2.run(); stepper3.run(); } else { stepper1.stop(); stepper2.stop(); stepper3.stop(); } .run() must be called allways! ,run() 'knows' whether pulses have to be created or not. Without callung run(), the steppers doe…

The button works, it's with one to signal one to GND and one to 5V

The way you describe it is wrong wired. Make a diagram (you can do it on paper and upload a photo).

[image] aivenr: it's with one to signal one to GND and one to 5V Any resistors involved? Otherwise it sounds like you are making a short circuit when the button is pressed.

Please explain what your sketch is intended to do. What should happen when you start the Arduino, what should happen when pressing the button.

On first button press -> accelerate steppers to max speed, the continue running for essentially infinite time Second press -> Stop steppers Then it just repeats

Yes, that's most likely the issue. I'll report back tomorrow

I added a 10kΩ resistor in between the ground pin, but it still doesn't work. The issue has changed to now it just doesn't spin at all, only the first time spinning for a little bit before stopping, which is worse than before.

[image] aivenr: On first button press -> accelerate steppers to max speed, the continue running for essentially infinite time Second press -> Stop steppers That's not what your sketch does. To get the stepper moving with acceleration/deceleration you must use .move() or .moveto(). .setCurr…
