B4R Question WeMos D1 WiFi uno based ESP8266 & rAdafruitMotorShield (V2) library

[Pencil3]

Anyone have any experience with the two? I believe the shield will need to be configured for 3.3v operation, but is the library itself compatible?

 

[Erel]

It is not clear from the open source project documentation whether it is compatible with ESP8266.

 

[Pencil3]

In case it ever comes up again, preliminary testing appears that they are compatible.

Have run into an issue. When trying the two examples from HERE I can run the DC motor example fine, but the Motor Stepper example fails with:

AppStart
style: 1
Soft WDT reset
ctx: cont
sp: 3ffffcd0 end: 3fffffd0 offset: 01b0

I can call the below from a timer and it works.

stepper.Step(50, stepper.DIR_FORWARD, stepper.STYLE_MICROSTEP)

But if I try to call the below it will fail with the same error as above.

stepper.Step(900, stepper.DIR_FORWARD, stepper.STYLE_MICROSTEP)

Anyone have any ideas?

What is the first parameter? Is it duration? Is this method blocking?

 

[Pencil3]

It is the amount of steps (steps As UInt). I believe it does and causes the software wdt to restart. Not sure where to start to try to resolve.

You can split it to several calls and add Delay(1) between them.

 

[Pencil3]

That works, thank you so much!
