Hello everyone,
I've finally got one axis of a picstep functional, however I have a few bugs to iron out.
I've found that the stepper motor changes direction while manually stepping using the control window in kcam. The stepper goes in one direction for 1/2 sec then changes direction for 1sec then reverses again.
I don't know if this is a problem with the hardware, my wiring connections or software timing.
The motors I'm using all have the same colour coded wiring as follows,
one coil, blue & orange with the centre tap white disconnected.
second coil, red & yellow with the centre tap black disconnected.
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated
thanks Dave
