Blocking the code with the Serial.print function in arduino

[StefanL38]

Hi @ingyou

welcome to the arduino-forum:

The solution to this problem is to use a different stepper-library.
This library is called MobaTools and can be installed with the Arduino-IDE-library-manager.

The MobaTools use a different approach to create the step-pulses:
The step-pulses are created by a timer-interrupt. This means the step-pulses are created in the backround just-in-time for a smooth running stepper-motor.

If you have installed the library a PDF-documentation in english and in german is also stored in the MobaTools-subfolder. Ask here in the forum. Post your code but

If you have any problems in applying / modifying one of the example codes

important !

post your code as a code-section like described here

Make experienced users help: two ways to quickly post code as a code-section

Hi newcomer, This thread wants to show you how you can speed-up getting helpful answers with small effort. If you manage at least to post this way. You have the sympathy of the experienced users. If you are willing to invest another 20 minutes these 20 minutes extra-time will save you a minimum of 200 minutes to finish your project. always post your full sketch. As a code-section from the very first to the very last line A code-section has a small height => keeps your posting "short" but…
