Hello everyone, I am looking for some programming help. In the sketch I have posted, I have created 4 touchscreen buttons to control 2 stepper motors. My problem is the first two buttons work as expected, however, the last two buttons work but they execute one motor at a time. When I press the botto…

#include <Elegoo_GFX.h> // Core graphics library #include <Elegoo_TFTLCD.h> // Hardware-specific library #include <TouchScreen.h> // Touch Support #include <AccelStepper.h> #include <DHT.h> //DTH Library #include <DHT_U.h> …

The easiest way with AccelStepper, is to create an array of motors, then, as long as you don’t use delay() in your code, you can do anything you want with all the motors simultaneously (up to the step rate imposed by AccelStepper).

Do you want the motors to start together and stop at the same time? The MulitStepper class can help with that. The runToNewPosition() function blocks. The first motor must run to position before the second can start to move. Use non-blocking functions of AccelStepper . Look at the examples.

That sounds like a good idea except I'm not sure how to do that? Can you help with that please?

[image] rpotter65: stepper.runToNewPosition(1100); //Move CCW stepper1.runToNewPosition(-8000); //Move CCW .runToNewPosition() doesn't return until that position is reached. You have to set a new target with .move() or .moveTo() = and then repeat .run() until both destination…

If you look back over the last few days, I posted my stepper code in an example sketch - complete. If you can wait a day, I’ll dig it out and send again. Have a look at my forum profile - activity, you should see it. I’m actually using that code again today for a friends project.

Thank you all very much, I will try these options and I will let you know if I get to work.t it

Hello and Thank You Johnwasser! The code you gave me works perfectly! Thank you vey much. Here is my final code in case anyone else is watching or doing something similar. #include <Elegoo_GFX.h> // Core graphics library #include <Elegoo_TFTLCD.h> // Hardware-spe…

Hello again everyone, my touchscreen control is working thanks to all of your help. I do have one more issue that I hope you can help with. I was going to eliminate it from my project because I can't get it to work but maybe with your help it will work. I have changed my code and created 5 buttons …
