Hello,
I am working on a project where I'm getting my Arduino Uno to receive DMX512 data from a lighting controller and then send PWM outputs to control a bi-polar stepper motor based on that information. I have been working with the code and tutorial for DMX reception written by Max Pierson on his website:
http://blog.wingedvictorydesign.com/2009/03/20/receive-dmx-512-with-an-arduino/all/1/
It has been extremely helpful, and I have successfully used it to control 3 different LEDs with DMX information coming from a lighting controller.
I then did a separate project where I set up a bi-polar stepper motor with a 2 control pin configuration, and used the stepper example codes to test it, which it worked fine.
Now I am trying to combine the two codes, by putting the stepper motor on the pins that were controlling the LEDs in my first experiment. The problem is that I am getting an error message that I don't understand when I try to compile the code, and I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have not gone in to too much detail about the circuits that I am working with because right now because the problem is in the code, but I can go in to more detail about that if it is necessary.
I don't have much knowledge on how the libraries work and if they may conflict with each other, but perhaps that is part of the problem?
Here is what I have right now:
#include <Stepper.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
#define NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS 2
//the number of channels we want to receive (2 by default).
unsigned int dmxaddress = 1;
