Stepper Motors with Feather MO

Post by BiruBeru »

What do I need to do to get a stepper motor to run at 2 to 4 rps on a Feather MO with a MotorWing?
So far, regardless of what numbers I put into the AccelStepper program,
the fastest the motors will run is a little less then 1 rps.
I am using 200 steps/rev motors.

I have the same result using the Adafruit MotorShield 2.3 and Arduino Zero with AccelStepper.
A recent post from "Bill" on this forum mentioned tweaking libraries, but did not say exactly how.

The default max speed out-of-the-box is about 50 RPM. This can be increased by changing the i2c clock speed and/or tweaking the library. Details can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57041&p=292119#p292119
