Please Note - I have included replies from other people who gave me some advice, please also have a look at what they provided me, and please comment if it will not work and why, but below is my original question, with replies.
I would like to be able to have 3 Momentary switches that when pressed will let me be able to select from 3 speeds or 3 settings. Here is my basic sketch without any switches.
Any advice will be appreciated?
TIA
/* Example sketch to control a stepper motor with TB6600 stepper motor driver, AccelStepper library and Arduino: acceleration and deceleration. More info: https://www.makerguides.com */
// Include the AccelStepper library:
#include <AccelStepper.h>
// Define stepper motor connections and motor interface type. Motor interface type must be set to 1 when using a driver:
#define dirPin 2
#define stepPin 3
#define motorInterfaceType 1
// Create a new instance of the AccelStepper class:
AccelStepper stepper = AccelStepper(motorInterfaceType, stepPin, dirPin);
void setup() {
// Set the maximum speed and acceleration:
stepper.setMaxSpeed(1000);
stepper.setAcceleration(500);
}
void loop() {
// Set the target position:
stepper.moveTo(8000);
// Run to target position with set speed and acceleration/deceleration:
stepper.runToPosition();
delay(1000);
// Move back to zero:
stepper.moveTo(0);
stepper.runToPosition();
delay(1000);
}

How do I upload images to share with you all? I have a Nema 34 with microstep driver and powersupply. Things I would like to share if possible?

I think that some of the methods in that library are 'float' types.

You may want to adjust based on that.
