Quad Stepper Motor Stream
This component will stream data to control up to four
stepper motors. Note: This component will format the data
according to the Firefly Stepper Arduino sketch.
Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | Start | Input a boolean value (True/False) to indicate whether or not to activate the motors. | Integer |
| Reset | Rst | Input a boolean value (True/False) to set the current position of the Stepper to the position you are feeding it. This can be used to calibarate the motors (e.g. to the desired zero position) | Integer |
| Max Speed | Spd | The max speed of the motors. | Integer |
| Acceleration | Acc | The amount of acceleration (and decceleration) to apply to the motors. Note: Range is from 100.0 to 3200.0 where the lower value indicates more acceleration/decceleration. | Integer |
| Motor 1 Steps | M1 | The number of microsteps to move the first stepper. Note: if there are eight microsteps in every step, a 200 step motor would require 1600 steps to move one full turn. If you aren't using this motor, leave the default value at zero. | Integer |
| Motor 2 Steps | M2 | The number of microsteps to move the second stepper. Note: if there are eight microsteps in every step, a 200 step motor would require 1600 steps to move one full turn. If you aren't using this motor, leave the default value at zero. | Integer |
| Motor 3 Steps | M3 | The number of microsteps to move the third stepper. Note: if there are eight microsteps in every step, a 200 step motor would require 1600 steps to move one full turn. If you aren't using this motor, leave the default value at zero. | Integer |
| Motor 4 Steps | M4 | The number of microsteps to move the fourth stepper. Note: if there are eight microsteps in every step, a 200 step motor would require 1600 steps to move one full turn. If you aren't using this motor, leave the default value at zero. | Integer |
| Port | Port | The Port Number has to be the same Serial Port assigned in the Arduino Sketch. You can find which COM port you are using by clicking on the Tools>Serial Port button on the Arduino IDE. | Integer |
Outputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formatted String | Out | Formatted String to Send to the Arduino Board | Text |
| Status Message | Msg | Current status of Serial Port | Text |
