Any news on updating this library for the Teensy 4 boards?

[luni64]

I have a working version but it is not yet stable enough to publish. I'll add the most requested features, i.e.,

• ability to change targets on the fly,
• support more than 4 independently moving motors

I also noticed that a lot of users have difficulties understanding the controller concept. So, I'll redo the API to make moving motors and group of motors more intuitive.

I have no schedule at the moment since I'm still involved in some higher priority projects.

[luni64]

Here some examples of the new API

Stepper s_x(0, 1), s_y(2, 3), s_z(4, 5);

StepperGroup all{s_x, s_y, s_z};      // group of all motors

void someFunc()
{   
    s_z.moveAbs(1000);                //move a stepper directly

    s_x.setTargetAbs(200);            // define targets for s_x ...
    s_y.setTargetAbs(500);            // ... and s_y
    StepperGroup xy{s_x, s_y};        // define a group of steppers
    xy.move();                        // move the group synchronously

     for (Stepper s : {s_x, s_y, s_z}) // set all targets to 0
    {
        s.setTargetAbs(0);
    }

    all.move();                       // move all motors home
}

Is it possible now to use/test it on T4.x boards?

I didn't find a lot of time lately to work on this library. You can however give it a try. I gave you access to the (private) repository (should have gotten a mail from gitHub). Please do not push to this repository. There probably are a lot of bugs in it but it was good enough for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX35L4OJa68&t=15s

Here the firmware for the dispenser, might be useful as example: DispControl.zip

Just did a quick test.
Sorry, looks like the version on GitHub is not the latest and is not functional. Unfortunately I'm currently not at home and can't upload a more recent version. I'll push it on Wednesday

waiting desperately for a teensy 4.1 version 🤩
does anyone have some workaround?
or whats your status here?

[AlexHasker]

Me too, the Library looks so promising

[defenestrated]

@luni64 another vote for an update! your library looks like the magic bullet to fix a gnarly project i'm working on ...but i need it to work with 4.1... any way you could publish the working version, even if it's not totally stable?

[luni64]

I still have to apologize that I still don't find much time to finalize the T4 version. Anyway, I published the current state in this repo: https://github.com/luni64/TeensyStep4 for first trials. The examples section contains two usage examples. Here another one: luni64/TeensyStep4#2

Feedback in the discussion or issues section is very welcome, But, please note that most likely I won't be able to fix bugs or give extended support at the moment.

Hope that helps

Totally understood – thank you for your work on this and for posting what you have! This'll be a great starting point, and maybe some of us can help triage bugs if they emerge. Thanks again =)
