I had bought arduino lenardo, 5 poulo stepper motor driver which have the capacity to give necessary current as demanded by the motor and 5 stepper motor.
Does arduion lenardo capable to control 5 stepper at a time using motor driver.
Which library I should have to use to control 5 steppers.
When I was programing the arduino lenardo..suddenly a error message showed that com port is not dectecting... Then I tried several times ..but the same problem is showing.firat two three programing ware sucessfull. When I tried programing using arduino com port was correctly dectected.by my arduino lenardo is not responding.plz help me
If you have Pololu stepper drivers you can control them easily without a library. The second example in this Simple Stepper Code could easily be extended to several motors.
A limiting factor may be the ability of the Arduino to produce the total number of step pulses per second if you want all the motors to move at high speeds.
There should be no problem controlling 5 motors with a Leonardo - it is much the same as an Uno.
I suspect the COM port problem is due to the fact that the Leonardo disconnects from the PC while it is resetting. This can be a bit of PITA. It arises because the Leonardo uses the same chip for USB and for other stuff whereas the Uno and Mega have separate USB chips. Try unplugging the Leonardo and re-connecting it.
Check that the serial port is available under the Tools menu. Try shutting down your IDE or PC and restarting.
Have you put your cable into the same port?
Thanks for the reply.. I will post a code that I had wrote to control stepper motor..it have some problems.please help me to correct that too..now I cant post the code because my pc is sent for repair and am sending msg via phone..thanks for the support...
I had disconnected the lenardo board and reconnected it several times..i had restarted the laptop..still the same problem remains..sometimes it shows the comport..bt while I try to burn the code..at the last moment error shows...while i connect the board to computer..a message shows that ur board is ready to use.. I had uninstalled the ide and reinstalled that too..still the problem exist..
