AccelStepper problems with Arduino IDE 2.3.1

Other Hardware Robotics
9

Hi @HoleHand. I'm going to ask you to provide the compilation output from compiling the sketch using Arduino IDE 1.8.15 and Arduino IDE 2.3.1. By comparing the two, we might be able to identify the cause of the different behavior of the resulting programs.

:exclamation: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

Get output from Arduino IDE 1.8.15

  1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino > Preferences... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "Preferences" dialog will open.
  2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation" in the "Preferences" dialog.
  3. Click the "OK" button.
  4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
  5. Wait for the compilation to finish.
  6. Click on the black console panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
  7. Press the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut (Command+A for macOS users) to select all the text.
  8. Press the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut (Command+C for macOS users).
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  9. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  10. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the compilation output is correctly formatted.

  11. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  12. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  13. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

Get output from Arduino IDE 2.3.1

  1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "Preferences" dialog will open.
  2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation" in the "Preferences" dialog.
  3. Click the "OK" button.
  4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
  5. Wait for the compilation to finish.
  6. Right click on the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
  7. From the context menu, click Copy All.
  8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  9. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.

  10. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  11. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  12. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

In case the output is longer than the forum software will allow to be added to a post, you can instead save it to a .txt file and then attach that file to a reply here:

  1. Open any text editor program.
  2. Paste the copied output into the text editor.
  3. Save the file in .txt format.
  4. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  5. Click the "Upload" icon (image) on the post composer toolbar:
    Upload icon on toolbar
    The "Open" dialog will open.
  6. Select the .txt file you saved from the "Open" dialog.
  7. Click the "Open" button.
    The dialog will close.
  8. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .txt file onto the post composer field to attach it.
