Error does not name a type

Projects Programming

I'm working with the Adafruit Motor Shield v2 for a 3D printer project. I got the code up and running and decided to make structs for each motor. When trying this, I got the error that my struct "does not name a type". I'm pretty sure my code is right as I gave experience in C. The code and error messages are below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_MotorShield.h>

struct stepper
{
  const int id; // motor number
  Adafruit_MotorShield shield;
  const int totalSteps;
  int currStep;
  Adafruit_StepperMotor *controller;
};

// Create the motor shield object with the default I2C address
Adafruit_MotorShield AFMS = Adafruit_MotorShield(0x60); 

// Connect a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution (1.8 degree)
// to motor port #2 (M3 and M4)
Adafruit_StepperMotor *myMotor1 = AFMS.getStepper(200, 1);
Adafruit_StepperMotor *myMotor2 = AFMS.getStepper(200, 2);

struct stepper *x = NULL;
x->id = 1;
x->shield = AFMS;
x->totalSteps = 250;
x->controller = myMotor1;
struct stepper *y = NULL;
y->id = 2;
x->shield = AFMS;
x->totalSteps = 250;
x->controller = myMotor2;
struct stepper *z = NULL;
z->id = 1;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);           // set up Serial library at 9600 bps
  Serial.println("Stepper test!");

  AFMS.begin();  // create with the default frequency 1.6KHz
  
  x->controller->setSpeed(10);
  y->controller->setSpeed(10);  // rpm   
}
void loop() {
  
  Serial.println("Single coil steps");
  x->controller->step(10, FORWARD, SINGLE); 
  y->controller->step(10, FORWARD, SINGLE); 
  x->controller->step(10, BACKWARD, SINGLE); 
  y->controller->step(10, BACKWARD, SINGLE);

Thank you so much!!! That worked for me.
