Hi guys I really tried working with the code and editing it, I got the code from youtube and from brainybits. I modified it to accept 5 digit inputs. The weird thing is when inputing different values it does not match up with the rotation. For example.
Stepper motor at 0 steps
Input on Keypad is [99] 1.5 Revolutions (Correct)
The code for this is int calculatedmove=((z1600)/80);
((991600)/80)
((158,400)/80)
1,980 steps
Stepper motor at 0 steps
Input on Keypad is [999] 12 Revolutions (Correct)
The code for this is int calculatedmove=((z1600)/80);
((9991600)/80)
((1,598,400)/80)
19,980 steps
Stepper motor at 0 steps
Input on Keypad is [9999] 2 Revolutions (Not correct, why does this happen?)
The code for this is int calculatedmove=((z1600)/80);
((99991600)/80)
((15,998,400)/80)
199,980 steps
Stepper motor at 0 steps
Input on Keypaid is [99999] 19 Revolutions (Not correct, I expected more turns)
The code for this is int calculatedmove=((z1600)/80);
((999991600)/80)
((159,998,400)/80)
1,999,980 steps
My stepper driver is configured at 1600 per revolution
Stepper driver is DM542T
Stepper Motor is Nema 23
Can anyone help me on how to fix this? I just learned slowly and started arduino 2 weeks ago.. sorry.
Also I edited the code for hours and debugging, I can't seem to find the problem.
