Rotate stepper like DC motor

[Luciano Veneziano (Veleno)]

Hello.

I would like to use AccelStepper to build a coil winder. I just want to know if it is possible to make a stepper motor complete N turns, counting them without stopping, and with the other stepper motor be able to move back and forth to position the wire correctly. Thank you, unfortunately I am elderly and I am just starting to learn C.

Another thing that happens is that the engines stall; I haven't understood why.

Thanks again.

If you don't want to start programming from scratch (trust me, there is a significant learning curve!) you could just use the one I designed over here:
