Hey everyone, I've got 2 stepper motors hooked up to run off one joystick (one stepper on X and the other on Y). One of the controllers is dead so can't test with both steppers but regardless the issue is with the one. The X stepper should only move when the X axis of the joystick is being used, bu…

I think I've just spotted it, in the stepper2Write function I have the wrong variable in the digitalWrite().

What do all your serial prints tell you?

Seems to be executing perfectly on the serial monitor.

Why not call them xStepper and yStepper? Please remember to use code tags when posting code

I'm pretty fresh to code, only started the other day, got gifted a bunch of arduino stuff. First post on the forum, how do I use code tags?

[image] genza12: Cheers, fixed the tags. Any idea why the issue might be happening?

It would help if you could post your serial output.

Posted, That's running through both X and Y on the joystick.

The dangers of cut-and-paste programming

Glad I've learned that one early on.
