Inverting direction pin for stepper driver

[Steven Brace]

I am trying to invert the direction pin value sent to my driver, but am having trouble getting the setPinsInverted function working.

How is this function properly used with a driver?

#include <AccelStepper.h>

AccelStepper stepper(1, 3, 2); //stepper driver on pins 1 and 2

stepper.setPinsInverted (true,false,false);

Is this right?

Thanks

Steve

I get this error:

other:48: error: 'class AccelStepper' has no member named 'setPinsInverted'

That's the right way to call it. Perhaps you do not have the AccelStepper library installed properly

I get the same error message that Steve was getting using the same code.  I have also tried several variations of it with no success.  

I have the Accel 1.47 library installed and all of the functions I have tried work fine with exception to the pin invert function.  

Can you help shed some light onto this problem.

Thanks

Hello,

Not without more information like sample code, board type and the exact error
message

FYI this code compiles fine here with the latest version

#include <AccelStepper.h>

// Define a stepper and the pins it will use
AccelStepper stepper(1, 3, 2);

void setup()
{
stepper.setPinsInverted (true,false,false);
// Change these to suit your stepper if you want
stepper.setMaxSpeed(100);
stepper.setAcceleration(20);
stepper.moveTo(500);
}

....

Thank you Mike.  You inadvertently provided the solution for me.  I was placing the "setPinsInverted" statement immediately after the statement that creates an instance of the stepper motor class.  Once I moved the "setPinsInverted " to "void setup()"  all was good and it compiled.

Thanks again

John
