Linear Welding Rail


i working on 1 axis linear slide system automate welding of 5' seams. have button panel selector buttons 4 different steal thicknesses. each thickness associated different travel speed stepper motor.

so trying use accelstepper program constant slow motion @ given speed.

right now, cannot movement @ out of stepper. i've tried various example sketches , nothing seems work. simple stepper sketch doesn't use accelstepper, can jittery motion out of motor. seems need set both reset , sleep high move. if can give me simple example try, appreciate it.

this driver using:
https://www.inventables.com/technologies/stepper-motor-driver-carrier

and motor:
https://www.inventables.com/technologies/stepper-motor-nema-17

i have set amperage on board around 1.7 amps.
dir = pin 7
step = 6
sleep = 5
reset = 4

thanks!

that stepper motor , driver should work fine. try simple stepper code things working.

you have not said power supply using motor (volts , amps)

the pololu drv8825 web page has information.

have @ stepper motor basics.

and if want advice program please post code.
