Stepper motor position sketch

This is the sketch I'm currently trialling.  Still need to incorporate buttons to start / stop / reverse

I'm wanting first button press to operate and motor to turn 270 degrees and stop on it own.

As a safety measure in case something was preventing the motor working, a second button press before the motor reaches 270 degrees would stop it.  A third button press would return the motor back to 0 degrees.  

//defines pins
const int stepPin = 6; //PUL -Pulse
const int dirPin = 7; //DIR -Direction
const int enPin = 8; //ENA -Enable

void setup(){
//Sets the pins as Outputs
pinMode(stepPin,OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin,OUTPUT);
pinMode(enPin,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(enPin,LOW);
}

void loop(){
//Enables the motor direction to move
digitalWrite(dirPin,HIGH);
//Makes 3200 Pulses for making one full cycle rotation
for(int x = 0; x < 2400; x++){
digitalWrite(stepPin,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(1000);
digitalWrite(stepPin,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(1000);
}

//One second delay
delay(1000);

//Changes the rotations direction
digitalWrite(dirPin,LOW);
// Makes 3200 pulses for making one full cycle rotation
for(int x = 0; x < 2400; x++) {
digitalWrite(stepPin,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(1000);
digitalWrite(stepPin,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(1000);
}

//One second delay
delay(1000);
}

First you need to debounce your button.

With regards to your requirements:

I require the motor to turn 270 degrees with the push of a button and stop on its own. Then have the motor move 270 degrees in reverse when the button is pressed again.

I would also like the ability to stop motor within the 270 degree field by pressing the same button in case of obstruction.

Then you need a variable to hold the current state of the stepper motor.

For example:
stateOfMotor = 0 'meaning at starting point
stateOfMotor = 1 'meaning at end point
stateOfMotor = 2 'meaning it has been stopped in between.

This variable can be used to determine the action you want the push button to take.

You have not mentioned your programming skill level and with Arduino C in particular?

Thank you for replying Robotbuilder.  My programming skill level would be at beginner.  Currently I  tend to find a code that is close to what I want and then begin to learn by modifying small parts and seeing the results.

It is difficult to give a precise solution as I don't actually have a Nema 23 stepper motor, a TB6600 driver plus the nano to test a coded solution. I only have the Arduino hardware I was able to get from Jaycar and Altronics before the lock down. The only item I have bought online was from Silicon Chip.

@robotbuilder I understand but any tips anyone provides helps the learning process so  I appreciate your input regarding the switch setup.

@herbie

I assume you have watched Bill's tutorial?

You will need another sensor so that the motor can find home, like a limit switch of photo interrupter.

Since its a stepper motor with no feedback then you will have to count steps.

If 3200 pulses is 360 degrees then   x = (270/360)*3200

x will give you the number of pulses for 270 degrees. You can write that as a routine and call it from main.

that way you can get the steps for any angle. 

@robotbuilder yes I've watched this a few times.  The equipment in this video is pretty much what I'm using.

@herbie

So is the current sketch you are trialling actually working?

Have you tried the sketch and circuit from Bill's tutorial where he uses a button to reverse the direction of the motor and a POT to control its speed?

I see Bill didn't bother with key button debounce.
