I do not know how to capture the steps. And how do do the timer. The programs that I have downloaded from the net don't work. Remember I am not...

Hi Will thanks. re: "So far, you've displayed no homing function" I haven't had time to even think about "homing" or anything beyond getting the mo...

So Will, you are saying to switch the power (VCC) to the motor? Should I worry/think about disabling the Arduino also? Ralph

What a interesting thread, like I said I hope others see it. Now how would I turn my system On/Off using a switch? I could just kill the motor fee...

Now the original Big Stepper code is running. The pot speed control works. The DIR button works. I guess it was a wiring error that I could not ...

I much prefer your speed control over DaveD's, it is much smoother. I can get slow speeds and fast speeds. I will "try" to integrate DaveE's butto...

Will, your code runs the motor and the pot adjust the speed. The DIR button is not working. With DaveE's first code version the reverse button wor...

Thanks, Will and DaveE. You have been so helpful. I sure wish I knew why the original code did not work. I will run Wll's code again. With DaveE...

Well that was kinda scary! The code works. You might want to turn your sound down. Ralph

Yes, the pot reads correctly 0 - 5 volts. Ralph

I checked it a dozen times. Ralph

Who knew, one has to have the wiring correct in order to see the correct results. TaDah, it is working!! Ralph

I am getting 0 volt with the switch not pressed or pressed. I am checking my wiring. Ralph

Yes I am letting it run. Nothing is happen with the button press. This code works, the motor reverses. It is from the same Makerguide Tutorial. ...
