VID28

This Library controls VID28 and equivalent steppermotors (X25, BKA30D-R5, VID29).

It can control a stepper either using 6 steps mode or microsteps mode (24 steps) using PWM.

If using PWM, it is necessary to set the prescaler of the corresponding timer to 1 to enforce high frequency PWM. Otherwise you can hear the stepper motor peep.

It can be used standalone or together with the AccelStepper (https://github.com/waspinator/AccelStepper) library (see example).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

If you need to control two steppers with one Arduino, you need 6 PWM outputs. That means you have to change the prescaler of timer0 as well Without any changes, this will disturb the behaviour of micros() and millis(). There is a solution for that in the adapted arduino_framework (see https://github.com/GewoonGijs/platformio-pkg-framework-arduinoavr and the adapted file wiring.c in /cores/arduino/

Have fun!!!

N.B. The motors do have four pins, but from the datasheet it can be seen that pin 2 and 3 are simultaneously high and low during the complete step cycle. Therefore I connected pin 2 and 3 of the motor to the same I/O pin on the Arduino.
