AccelStepper | Fork of AccelStepper

I am using an Arduino 2560, NEMA23 Stepper motor with a TB6600 driver. The driver is set to 1/32 step division. The motor by default is 200 steps per revolution.

I want to input step size, number of steps and settling time. Once the loop completes the number of steps i want to return to the starting point. The plan is to take multiple images and stack them in Photoshop.

So far everything works except for the return to starting point ...some of the time. If I don't step too far, meaning a combination of step size and number of steps, the motor returns to the starting point. If I exceed "X" distance the last step continues to move forward instead of backwards. I haven't fully tested what "X" distance is.

Example: If I use 5 steps with a step size of 5000 then the code returns to the starting point. If I change the steps to 7 and keep the step size at 5000 it does not return but moves forward.

Here is the complete code:

I have an Arduino Mega and I am using an L298N and my goal is to make a successful Arduino library to make music with the stepper motor. I am aware that this approach has already been made before, but I am trying to do it myself. I can't use the Moppy library and quite frankly, other's code is quite complex. So, what's my problem? My problem is I get this error when I use the library that I have made (as a test):

I have this (partial) code, that is used to read the ssid and password from a text file on a SD card. This data should then be used to connect to the local wifi. But it is unable to connect, and keeps saying "Establishing connection to WiFi..."

I also dont seem to be able to print what I have read from the SD card. Previously my readline function returned a string. That I was able to print properly and verified that the file is read as expected. Then, since wifi requires a Char* I changed the code to Char* and since then it didnt work anymore:

I am running an Arduino Mega, LCD Sheild 1602, TB6600 Driver, Nema 17 motor.

The code for "running" works fine.

I have tried several different options (like setting negative value or moveTo) to "reset" the motor but when I select the reset menu item I want the motor to run in counter clockwise. the speed changes but the direction does not.

Can anyone help me understand why the motor is not running in reverse direction?

Code also Pasted below if needed: I used Paul Siewerts LCD tutorial as my base.

I have verified that its not a wiring problem by using some non library example code, so it seems the problem is not with the circuit.

I'm expecting the following code to run the motor in one direction 200 steps then run 200 steps in the opposite direction. It seems to run the initial 200 steps but then stops, why?

In the setup function:

so I have been trying to create 3 'accelstepper' objects. This is a screenshot of my code in case the code section doesn't appear. Also, this is a screenshot of the file "stepper_directory.h"

I'm trying to use the Accelstepper library to run my stepper motor. My objective is to run the motor for a specific number of steps, check to see if an external switch is pressed, and then continue at a constant speed. However, I have found that I cannot specify a number of steps and then run at a constant speed afterwards.

My current code runs a while loop and runs for the number of steps that I specify while ignoring any code regarding my switch.

Am trying to write Arduino code to control few stepper motors from my c++ app through serial communication. the code i wrote seems to be ok but it gives strange type of output when i send serial command from my c++ app or Arduino IDE serial monitor.
