Features¶

“Here comes the Hotstepper” – Ini Kamoze

Uses acceleration and deceleration ramps.
Fairly tight timing up to approx. 1500 steps per second (on Raspberry Pi 4) [1].
Complete API for relative and absolute moves, rotations and continuous running.
Runs in the background. Motor movements can be blocking or non-blocking.
Support for microstepping (depending on the driver).
Support for any unipolar stepper motors, like:
- 28BYJ-48 (very cheap geared stepper)
{TODO} Support for Bipolar stepper drivers / dual H-Bridges like the
- L293(D)
- DRV8833
{TODO} Support for Step/Direction controllers like
- A4988
- DRV8825
- STSPIN220 / 820
Other drivers should be easy to implement
Licensed under the very permissive MIT license.
100% Python, no dependencies except pigpio.

[1]	At high step rates occasional stutters may occur when some Python / Linux background tasks run.

Uses¶

AdvPiStepper is suitable for

Python projects that need to accuratly control a single stepper motor at reasonable speeds.
Stepper motor experiments and prototyping.

It is not suitable for
