# ExcelStepper

**ExcelStepper** is an excellent Arduino library for stepper motor control, offering simplicity, speed, and precise acceleration for smooth movement.

## Features

- **Linear acceleration** to a target speed within a given distance

- **Acceleration between speeds** within a given distance

- **Jump between speeds**

- **Faster speeds** thanks to low computations

- **Non-blocking** for multitasking

- **Multiple steppers**

## Usage

``` cpp

#include 

ExcelStepper stepper(2, 5);  // Create a new stepper motor on pins 2 and 5.

void setup() {

    Serial.begin(9600);

    stepper.begin();                          // Set up the stepper motor.

    stepper.setDirection(ExcelStepper::COUNTERCLOCKWISE);  // Set the direction of the motor.

}

void loop() {

    stepper.accelerate(800, 500);  // Accelerates from 0 to 800 steps per second in 500 steps.

    stepper.runToTarget();         // Waits for the motor to reach 500 steps.

    stepper.move(500);  // Moves 500 steps at 800 steps per second.

    while (!stepper.run()) {                           // Loops until the motor has reached the target position.

        Serial.println(stepper.currentSpeed);  // Large computations like serial prints may slow down the motor.

    }

    // Accelerate from 800 to 1600 steps per second in 500 steps.

    stepper.accelerate(1600, 500);

    stepper.runToTarget();

    // Jump from 1600 to 800 steps per second.

    stepper.jumpToSpeed(800);

    stepper.move(500);

    stepper.runToTarget();

    // Decelerate to 0 steps per second in 1000 steps.

    stepper.decelerate(0, 1000);

    stepper.runToTarget();

    delay(1000);

}

```

## Limitations

- To improve speed ExcelStepper does not check for existing PWM on the step pin. Use with caution!

- Jumping to high speeds may not work due to physics. Use acceleration in such cases.
