前面用一片arduino控制一个步进电机,但是控制多路步进电机容易互相干扰,主要是每个脉冲延时用了delay函数。
一路两相的步进电机需要占用4个i/o口,因此一片arduino最多控制3个步进电机(不算模拟i/o)。
一个l298模块只能接一个步进电机。下面实验接2路电机的情况,3路时情况差不多。
(1)实验了一下arduino自带的stepper库,发现连接两个电机只能一个一个按顺序动,不能同时动。但是电机都能动,工作没有问题。这显然不是我们想要的
(2)改了一下自己编的步进电机程序,可以同时动了,但是两个电机的速度不好设置,变量太多。
最后做了个艰难的决定,自己编库文件。好久没动c语言了,忘得差不多了,只好在原有库函数的基础上改。改了一个晚上,终于没问题了,并且把原来库函数中的四拍的方法改成八拍,控制更准确,运动更平稳了。库函数在我的网盘下载,这几天没空了,等有空再改一下传到官网上去:
例子程序:
#include
const int stepsPerRevolution = 400; // 对于两相四线的电机,一般步距角是1.8度,这里如果是四拍就写200,八拍就写400
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper1(stepsPerRevolution, 4,5,6,7); //两个电机分别占四个脚
Stepper myStepper2(stepsPerRevolution, 8,9,10,11);
void setup() {
// set the speed at 60 rpm:
myStepper1.setSpeed(60);
myStepper2.setSpeed(60);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int r;
for(int i=0; i<400;)
{
r= myStepper1.stepOneStep(0);
myStepper2.stepOneStep(1);//括号中的参数是方向,0和1代表不同转动方向
if(r==2) i++;
}
delay(500);
}

Drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor using 2 wires or 4 wires
When wiring multiple stepper motors to a microcontroller,
you quickly run out of output pins, with each motor requiring 4 connections.
By making use of the fact that at any time two of the four motor
coils are the inverse of the other two, the number of
control connections can be reduced from 4 to 2.
A slightly modified circuit around a Darlington transistor array or an L293 H-bridge
connects to only 2 microcontroler pins, inverts the signals received,
and delivers the 4 (2 plus 2 inverted ones) output signals required
for driving a stepper motor.
The sequence of control signals for 4 control wires is as follows:
Step C0 C1 C2 C3
1 1 0 1 0
2 0 1 1 0
3 0 1 0 1
4 1 0 0 1
The sequence of controls signals for 2 control wires is as follows
(columns C1 and C2 from above):
Step C0 C1
1 0 1
2 1 1
3 1 0
4 0 0
