I was hoping to do this through á subtler intérchange with a software program professional, but this community forum is certainly my just contact point, so.
The program code provided for Stepper motor control with thé v2.3 motor shield can be seriously broken. There are two mistakes, and between them they assure that the motor will never ever spin and rewrite at the desired RPM. I have fixes and will be joyful to provide those documents.
1. Delays are accomplished with delayMicroseconds, which can be only valid for delays up to 16384uS. For sluggish rotation, the required step delay is larger than that, causing in random-appéaring delays and engines that spin far as well quickly.
2. The code does not really take away the I2C communication over head from the required delay. The collection sends 6 I2G text messages of 5 byte payloads for every step. Total overhead is close to 4000uS. As soon as you identify an RPM higher enough that the per-step delay is less than 16,000uS (so that delayMicroseconds can function), the system actually uses 20,000uS per step because of thé unaccounted-for over head.
I have modified code that fixes both of these troubles, and reduces some redundant I2D messaging, and then has further adjustments to make the real RPM go with the desired RPM tó within 0.1 RPM. I furthermore included a fractional setSpeed overburden because I desire the ability to perform slow cautious rotations.
While not really a pest, the 4000uBeds overhead means that the best speed for a 200step/rev stepper will be about 75RPM for SINGLE and DOUBLE, 37.5REvening for INTERLEAVE, and lt;4RPM for MICROSTEP. I have reduced the overhead through program code good enough to raise the foundation swiftness up to 115RPM. I then modified my twi.l file therefore that I2Chemical ran at 400kHz rather of 100kHz, and can now support a foundation swiftness up to 333RPM (which exceeds the skills of my mótor, but I cán perform 150 really smoothly right now).
I was joyful to supply the modified motor shield library files, if there will be anyone that would including to review them and work them into Adafruit's collection. I did break some if/eIse ladders into switch/cases, and my coding style is certainly more visually compact than the existing code, which I recognize will create auto-diffing the program code more complex. But all of my adjustments had been in the Stepper control, which isn't quite large, and I've included all of my thoughts, analysis, and results in feedback to describe what I did and why.I am trying to control a NEMA17 stepper using the V2 motor shield. The Adafruit shield pulls over 1.7A (I have got restricted the current to 1.7A, but it wants to pull even more!) during operation, whereas the Arduinó motor shield just attracts around 800mA making use of the same stepper.
I require to make use of the Adafruit shieId as I want to control 4 steppers.
Any ideas why the present is therefore higher?

I have an adafruit motorshield and I want to control a 12V pololu motor that is rated at a stall current of 5A. I expect the motor to get close to (but not get to) stall status when going through a high-stress period of 4 to 5 seconds. The adafruit website states this statement below. Mar 31, 2019 Adafruit Motor shield v2; 12V 3 pin fan(s) 12V power source; Estimated Cost: For one fan: Arduino UNO clone 5€ + Shield 6€ + 12v power brick (recycling) + Fan (5€) = 15€ For two fan: Arduino UNO clone 5€ + Shield 6€ + 12v power brick (recycling) + Fan (5€) = 20€ More power? Adafruit motor shield V2 is rated for 1.7A (up to.
