step it up




Stepper - OSC - How to control the stepper motor using the Make Controller:

To take 1000 steps with the first stepper, send the message:

/stepper/0/step 1000


To set the first stepper to step position 10000, send the message:

/stepper/0/position 10000


Leave the argument value off to read the position of the stepper:

/stepper/0/position


To set the speed of the first stepper to step at 100ms per step, send a message like

/stepper/0/speed 100
