Stepper Motors library ported from Arduino to Pinguino


This library was ported from Stepper library from Arduino project,
Same samples works with minimum changes!
http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper

You need add a 1µF or 10µF capacitor between GND and VCC on pinguino board.
Tested with a PM35-048 stepper and ULN2003a / ULN2803a drivers.

DOWNLOAD


INSTALL
1- Copy Stepper.lib/stepper.c and Stepper.lib/stepper.h to pinguino/tools/share/sdcc/include/pic16/
2- Copy Stepper.lib/stepper.pdl to pinguino/lib

Sample:

/*
 * Based on MotorKnob Stepper Library from Arduino Project
 *
 * A stepper motor follows the turns of a potentiometer
 * (or other sensor) on analog input 0.
 *
 * http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper
 * 
 * Pinguino port by Anunakin 
 * For use this sample on Pinguino boards, 
 * you need add a 10uF or less capacitor 
 * between GND and VCC on pinguino board.

The IR 'radar' is a nice idea and am thinking of making one. Could you also provide that the 'radar' pc application too?

thanks

I having some problems with IR Radar, but when I correct it I'll post all software for PIC18 and Qt4 Application for Linux PC.
