Hallo to all. I am just wondering is there some way to control stepper motor left and right with variable speed using screen jog slider?
I already control stepper very nice with universal gcode sender platform and grblpanel . But i just want to move stepper motor cw and ccw with slider and variable speed, like joystick, but with mouse dragging some slider on computer screen? Is this possible? Thanks
I use arduino uno grbl with 6560 driver and nema23 stepper
Split this problem into its parts.
Can you write the code needed to move a slider, send the value to your Arduino and display the value in the Arduino Serial Monitor.
And (separately) if you have a value in a variable in an Arduino program can you get the stepper motor to move as appropriate depending on the value in the variable?
Don't try to combine the ideas until you can do each one separately.
Also, it will be much easier to provide help if you are just dealing with one part of the problem.

Sorry for not been quite familiar with coding and splitting problem in parts. I am firstly wondering if i miss some obvious and ready solution , as i already dig internet for couple hours before posting this question. I (and probably many around ) just need to drive stepper motor left and right vith variable speed depending on how far is slider moved left and right? (sorry for not perfect english)
Your English is perfectly acceptable. I had assumed you wished to learn how to write a program to do what you need.
I have no idea whether you will be able to find a ready-made program to do what you want.

I mean something like this (hope there is attachment?), nothing more complicate - and just to work 
. I know it is hard, as i have quite experience in messing around . I can even variable jog cnc machine with hardware joystick with mach3 (did that couple years ago, but that complicated don't need now). But This "basic" control i cannot do ... Meaby some can help?

I did know what a slider is without needing a picture.
If you just want someone to write a program for you please ask in the Gigs and Collaborations section of the Forum and be prepared to pay.

Thanks a lot for explaining how to insert picture to be imidiately visible

You are very welcome.
However I don't quite see the advantage of having 3 copies of it. Maybe it's my age.
