Detailed Description

Linear Stepper Motor control class.

Linear Stepper Motor control library.

Example: 

  #include "mbed.h"
  #include "lin_step_mtr.h"
  
  // motor's leads for A,A',B,B' that are hooked upto a dual H-bridge
  LinStepMtr mtr(p20, p19, p17, p18);    
  
  int main() {
      // Rotates the motor Clockwise at 400 rpm for 10 revolutions
      mtr.set_speed(400);
      mtr.rotate(LinStepMtr::CW,10);
      
      // Rotates the motor Counterclockwise at 200 rpm for 5 revolutions
      mtr.set_speed(200);
      mtr.rotate(LinStepMtr::CCW, 5);  
  }

Member Function Documentation

LinStepMtr::Direction get_dir (  )

Gets the current direction.

Returns:
the current direction of motion

Definition at line 80 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

double get_max_rev_cnt (  )

Gets the value of the current maximum revolution count.

Returns:
the current maximum revevolution count limit

Definition at line 69 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

double get_min_rev_cnt (  )

Gets the value of the current minumum revolution count.

Returns:
the current minimum revevolution count limit

Definition at line 64 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

double get_rev (  )

Gets the number of revolutions since motor was initialized.

Positive means more CW than CCW movement, negative is opposite

Returns:
revolution count

Definition at line 43 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

float get_speed (  )

Gets the current speed in RPM.

Returns:
motor's speed in RPM

Definition at line 34 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

Definition at line 74 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

double rotate ( Direction  d,
float  rev = 1 
)

NOT SUPORTED - Set the direction.

Parameters:
dnew direction of motion Rotates the motor for a set number of rotations in the given direction
ddirection of rotation
revnumber of revolutions to rotate (defaults to 1 revolution)
Returns:
the current revolution count after rotation is complete

Definition at line 95 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

void set_max_rev_cnt ( double  rc )

Definition at line 56 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

void set_min_rev_cnt ( double  rc )

Sets the value of min_rev_cnt.

This value is used as a software stop to prevent the motor from rotating any farther while going counterclockwise. Defaults to the minimum value of a double.

Parameters:
rcnew minimum revolution count limit value

Definition at line 48 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.

void set_speed ( float  rpm )

Sets the value of speed in RPM.

Parameters:
rpmspeed in rpm (maximum value of 400 rpm, min value of 200 rpm)

Definition at line 39 of file lin_step_mtr.cpp.
