MultiStepper example 'positions' array

[krazyeg]

Looking at the example included with the MultiStepper library

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Configure each stepper

  stepper1.setMaxSpeed(100);

  stepper2.setMaxSpeed(100);

  // Then give them to MultiStepper to manage

  steppers.addStepper(stepper1);

  steppers.addStepper(stepper2);

}

void loop() {

  long positions[2]; // Array of desired stepper positions

  

  positions[0] = 1000;

  positions[1] = 50;

  steppers.moveTo(positions);

  steppers.runSpeedToPosition(); // Blocks until all are in position

  delay(1000);

  

  // Move to a different coordinate

  positions[0] = -100;

  positions[1] = 100;

  steppers.moveTo(positions);

  steppers.runSpeedToPosition(); // Blocks until all are in position

  delay(1000);

}

The steppers.moveTo(positions) command has me confused without specifying element numbers, especially since it's just one dimension and in this case dealing with 2 different values, Im guessing the element positions[0] refers to stepper1, and so on?...

Can I create something like positions[1000] and load it up with whatever; then create a loop to iterate through?

Thanks folks...

Hello,

Yes. This is described in the documentation.

Awesome!!!!! I finally got it, X-Y interpolation with a lookup table. Draws ellipses like a champ! More smooth than I expected.

my arduino does not recognize the #include <MultiStepper.h>, what did you do ?
