Convert Degrees To Steps
Convert an angle value in degrees to the appropriate amount of steps to move a Stepper Motor.
Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Degrees | D | Degrees to convert into steps | Number |
| Steps Per Revolution | S | Each stepper motor is rated by the number of steps it takes to make one full revolution. A 200 step motor, for example, would take 200 steps to rotate one full turn, or roughly 1.8deg per step. | Integer |
| Number of Microsteps | M | Many stepper drivers use microstepping, which breaks down the minimum step into smaller micro steps. Most drivers default to 8 microsteps. Thus to move a 200 step motor one full revolution you would need to move 1600 microsteps. This input allows you to set how many microsteps your driver will use. Note: This input will only allow microsteps of 1, 2, 4, or 8. | Integer |
Outputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steps to Move | S | The converted number of steps to move the motor. | Integer |
