Hello Paddy

The EB022 can handle a single Bipolar or Unipolar Stepper motor.

Hello Paddy

If you like I have a beta version of a stepper motor component complete with simulation. Would be good to get this tested out in the field anyway. To install the component download and open the attachment, open the stepper installer folder and then copy the 5 files into your Flowcode V3/Components directory. Once you have done this you will need to run the Install Stepper.bat file and restart Flowcode.

If you still need the test file then let me know.

Ben many thanks for the module upgrade and drive simulation file. As with the other modules it worked great and is a very solid platform to learn from. Where do I download motor test 1.fcf I want to start using the development kit and use the test file.
