I have very basic arduino knowledge so please excuse me if I make mistakes.
I am trying to program arduino with a button that does something quite simple.
If i press the button the stepper starts moving and if i press it again it stops moving.
I was also looking at another option (mode1 stepper moves slow, mode2 stepper moves fast, mode 3 off, back to mode 1)
I wanted to make this work with:
if (state == 3) {
state = 0;
}
if (button1 == HIGH){
state++;
}
if (state == 0) {do nothing;}
if (state == 1) {do something1;}
if (state == 2) {do something2;}
if (state == 3) {do something3;}
but the problem is I can't figure out what to type for stepper to move and stop into the if states
I have already looked at the following forums but became none the wiser into how to apply it for my code.

I am trying to make a really simple hand controller for my telescope. I have the stepper motor running the way I want with the TMC2100 drivers. I want to press a button to slow down the motor by 2x (I'll add more buttons later for different speeds).
I press the button and no changes happen. I am super new to this and am pretty happy that I have got this far.
Note: I am only asking to change the speed of one motor in this code for now
I am using a resistor between ground and the button per the…

Hey guys!
I'm controlling a stepper motor.
I wanted to use a push-button to turn the motor on and off.
The button works to turn it on but when pressing the button again to turn it off nothing happens. Would someone please take a look at the code and help me out?
//BUTTON
int button = 2;
int led = 13;
int status = false;
//END BUTTON
//Include the Arduino Stepper Library
#include <Stepper.h>
// Number of steps per internal motor revolution
const float STEPS_PER_REV = 32;
// Number of…

Robin2's simple stepper code tutorial has example code for running a stepper non-blocking using millis().
Here is an example showing how to toggle an output state using the state change detection method. Change to toggle the state of a boolean variable instead of an output.
// This is to illustrate using tne state change detectin method to
// toggle the state of a pin (Pin 13, the on board LED)

I wrote a very simple program to demonstrate stepper control using a Polulu A4988 stepper driver. It should also work with any stepper driver that just needs step and direction signals from an Arduino.
I have included it in response to several queries and it seemed it would be easier to create this Thread and then just add a link to it.

If all you want to do is demonstrate that a motor can work this code…

I would really appreaciate if someone could help me further.
