I have my Arduino Yun set up with a web server. The webpage has a series of buttons on it, which control the buzzer playing various sounds, and a button to control a stepper motor. I'm using the code linked which uses the AccelStepper library.
The button works fine for the buzzer, I click it and it plays the sound. For the motor however, I click the button, and the LED lights up on the driver board for a second after the button is clicked but that's it.
I suspect that the motor, unlike the buzzer, needs the command to be true all the time while it moves to it's position, otherwise it stops. So the button on the webpage needs to act more like a switch - click to come on and stay on, click again to go off and stay off. But I'm unsure how to do this.
Or else, perhaps anyone has experience with this stepper motor and knows how to use it without accelstepper. (All i'm trying to do is get the motor to turn to a given position.)
I hope this isn't too confused. I'm so close, yet this motor is causing me a massive pain. Many thanks!
