Hello everyone,
First, a quick comment on the L298:
I know it's an old, inefficient chip ill-suited for driving a stepper motor.
If someone absolutely wants/needs to write the advice "use something else," then they should. But that won't change the demo project setup at all. This particular project is being implemented using the L298. Consider it an academic exercise in how not to do it.
The stepper motor is driven by the Arduino Motorshield Rev3. This is one of those shields that attaches directly to the Arduino Uno.
And I have a specific question:
Can you use this combination of:
Arduino Uno with the Arduino Motorshield Rev3 attached
together with MobaTools as follows:
In MobaTools, don't use the attachEnable() function and then set the IO pins D5/D6 to a PWM value with analogWrite to reduce the current through the motor coils?
I'm aware that it reduces torque and has who knows what other disadvantages.
The stepper motor essentially only moves itself, so high performance isn't important at all.
