Re: Stepper motors with PIO

Thanks Robert!
I used second approach and it works properly now.

Can you explain why it was in a never ending loop without resetting X?

Cheers,

Stepper motors with PIO

Hi! I'm trying to write my first PIO program to control stepper motors. I'd like to be able to tell it how many steps to make and what would be a delay between steps. After hours and hour of reading docs and watching Youtube videos I'm still not able to write a working program. Here is what I have s...

Re: Raspberry Pi Pico timer priority

Thanks for your answer @rafl! Both UART communication and I2C(ssd1306 panel) communication are causing this issue, I'm just using the built-in UART and an external ssd1306 library, so I don't think I can affect timings there. I tried another approach, since Pico has 2 cores, I thought I'd try replac...

Raspberry Pi Pico timer priority

Hi, I'm trying to control a robot that has Nema stepper motors, UART to communicate with the host and an SSD1306 I2C display. I'd like the wheels to run as stable and smooth as possible, so I found this code: https://github.com/jeffmer/micropython-upybbot/blob/master/nemastepper.py The idea is that ...
