Robotics on Adabox 005! Oh my

[Kabaju42]

I put the stepper motor kit (product ID 2348) on my raspberry pi and I've been trying to run a 12V stepper motor on it. (The motor is very similar to product ID 324). It works, but the motor seems really slow. I've tried increasing the speed in the example code, but it doesn't do much. Is that something that the controller is limiting, or is it the motor?

The maximum step rate is limited by the speed of the i2c bus. It is possible to increase the i2c clock rate on the Pi.

I got it working. It's still slower than I'd like, but I did cut down the operation time about 30%. I still have some improvements I can make on the gearing, but it works for now.

Nice looking project! Thanks for the video.
