Hello!!
im very new to arduino and need to control a stepper motor for a project.The system is a nema17 motor,L298N control board,a genuine UNO and push buttons for clockwise and anticlockwise.
i found in this page the following program and fits perfect to my needs Stepper Motor control with L298 & Arduino | alselectro
but when i copy and paste the program to upload it after press the upload button i get the stray 342 error.
here is all the error
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows Store 1.8.10.0) (Windows 10), Πλακέτα:"Arduino/Genuino Uno"
sketch_feb09a:35: error: stray '\342' in program
Serial.println(β€?Speed of motor is β€?);

exit status 1
stray '\342' in program
Please help me!!!!!!I am new and i completely lost?what im making wrong???
Thank you

You have non-ASCII characters in your code, these are not supported and must be removed. These are often non-printing characters that get pulled in when copying from websites - but in your case, it looks like they are the stylized quotes that some programs (like microsoft office suite) replaces quotation marks with to make them look prettier (and which are notorious for causing problems when pasted into other programs).
For example, in that line, it shows:
Serial.println(β€?Speed of motor is β€?);
That should be
Serial.println("Speed of motor is ");
You must go through your sketch and find and remove all non-ascii characters, and in the case of mangled quotes, replace them with normal quotes.
