Stepper 7 click is a bipolar step motor driver. It features an H-bridge bipolar step motor driver, which supports full and half step control modes. Stepper 7 click also carries a port expander so that the communication can be done with a minimal number of pins, through the mikroBUS™ SPI bus.
We provide a library for the Stepper 7 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Stepper 7 Click driver.
stepper7_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function. stepper7_init
Initialization function. stepper7_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function. stepper7_set_direction
This function sets the motor direction to clockwise or counter-clockwise in ctx->direction. stepper7_set_step_mode
This function sets the step mode resolution settings in ctx->step_mode. stepper7_drive_motor
This function drives the motor for the specific number of steps at the selected speed. This example demonstrates the use of the Stepper 7 click board by driving the motor in both directions for a desired number of steps.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration.
Drives the motor clockwise for 200 full steps and then counter-clockiwse for 200 half
steps and 800 1/8th steps with 2 seconds delay on driving mode change. All data is being logged on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
