Files are slightly reorganized to follow Arduino library conventions to allow for inclusion into the Arduino IDE library manager. + +Please direct questions and discussion to http://groups.google.com/group/accelstepper + +--- + +This is the Arduino AccelStepper library. It provides an object-oriented interface for 2, 3 or 4 pin stepper motors and motor drivers. + +The standard Arduino IDE includes the Stepper library (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper) for stepper motors. It is perfectly adequate for simple, single motor applications. + +AccelStepper significantly improves on the standard Arduino Stepper library in several ways: + + - Supports acceleration and deceleration + - Supports multiple simultaneous steppers, with independent concurrent stepping on each stepper + - API functions never delay() or block + - Supports 2, 3 and 4 wire steppers, plus 3 and 4 wire half steppers. + - Supports alternate stepping functions to enable support of AFMotor (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library) + - Supports stepper drivers such as the Sparkfun EasyDriver (based on 3967 driver chip) + - Very slow speeds are supported + - Extensive API + - Subclass support + |
