trying to use long values

Projects Programming
1

Hi! I'm trying to make a stepper turning a long time, with a IR remote.

I try to modify a simple code I found, mutliplying the steps (I'm still not sure of the turn numbers I will need).
It creates too big values, so I mess with long and L but I just can't get it to work...

Could somebody suggests me whats wrong?

      case 0xFFA857: // VOL+ button pressed
                      small_stepper.setSpeed(500); //Max seems to be 500
                      Steps2Take =  2048L*100L;  // Rotate CW 
                      small_stepper.step(Steps2Take) long ;
                      delay(2000); 
                      break;

Your code, being incomplete, doesn't compile.

small_stepper.step(Steps2Take) long ;

That doesn't look like valid syntax to me.

Sorry, yes I didn't put the rest of the code, it thought it was not necessary to find the error

here's the errors I get

34: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion [-Woverflow]
Steps2Take = 2048L*100L; // Rotate CW

error: expected ';' before 'long'

small_stepper.step(Steps2Take) long ;

williamslg:
34: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion [-Woverflow]
Steps2Take = 2048L*100L; // Rotate CW

16bit variable:

int  Steps2Take;

compiler is your friend!

small_stepper.step(Steps2Take) long ;

looks like still something out of place there, no?
