Well then lol.. Thanks for the reply although a little disappointed in the R3 shield not being able to drive a stepper very well. It couldn't pull a Hen of her nest week.. Can someone tell me why these sketches work well when uploaded separately as in Forward works great Backwards also works fine but when I combine them its Sea Saw city jerky B/F motion. I figured with a (delay) between the sketches combined it would have separated them.
int delaylegnth = 30;
void setup() {
//establish motor direction toggle pins
pinMode(12, OUTPUT); //CH A -- HIGH = forwards and LOW = backwards???
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //CH B -- HIGH = forwards and LOW = backwards???
//establish motor brake pins
pinMode(9, OUTPUT); //brake (disable) CH A
pinMode(8, OUTPUT); //brake (disable) CH B
}
void loop(){
digitalWrite(9, LOW); //ENABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, HIGH); //DISABLE CH B
digitalWrite(12, HIGH); //Sets direction of CH A
analogWrite(3, 255); //Moves CH A
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //DISABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, LOW); //ENABLE CH B
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); //Sets direction of CH B
analogWrite(11, 255); //Moves CH B
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, LOW); //ENABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, HIGH); //DISABLE CH B
digitalWrite(12, LOW); //Sets direction of CH A
analogWrite(3, 255); //Moves CH A
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //DISABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, LOW); //ENABLE CH B
digitalWrite(13, LOW); //Sets direction of CH B
analogWrite(11, 255); //Moves CH B
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //ENABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, LOW); //DISABLE CH B
digitalWrite(12, HIGH); //Sets direction of CH A
analogWrite(3, 255); //Moves CH A
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, LOW); //DISABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, HIGH); //ENABLE CH B
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); //Sets direction of CH B
analogWrite(11, 255); //Moves CH B
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //ENABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, LOW); //DISABLE CH B
digitalWrite(12, LOW); //Sets direction of CH A
analogWrite(3, 255); //Moves CH A
delay(delaylegnth);
digitalWrite(9, LOW); //DISABLE CH A
digitalWrite(8, HIGH); //ENABLE CH B
digitalWrite(13, LOW); //Sets direction of CH B
analogWrite(11, 255); //Moves CH B
delay(1000);
}
