AFMotor and accelmotor and servo

[drmacro]

I had multistepper example working with two steppers.

I then added code to run a servo. Now the servo is working but the steppers don't move...

Are there gotchas that I haven't discovered yet above using two steppers, a servo, and the accelmotor library?

Basically added the for/next loop from the servo example right after the stepper move code in the main loop.

AccelStepper requires you to call "run" regularly to step the motor. Normally it is done on each pass of the main loop. If you go into a loop doing something else, the steppers will stop until you finish that loop.

Code: Select all

// Run the motor to implement speed and acceleration in order to proceed to the target position
// You must call this at least once per step, preferably in your main loop
// If the motor is in the desired position, the cost is very small
// returns true if we are still running to position
boolean AccelStepper::run()
{
    if (_targetPos == _currentPos)
	return false;
    
    if (runSpeed())
	computeNewSpeed();
    return true;
}

Wasn't quite the issue but it led me to find it.

Thanks!
