ISRStepper

Interrupt driven stepper motor module. Uses Timer1 to generate interrupt at correct interval for motor speed. Each interrupt advances motor to next step.
Public flag "MovementComplete" indicates when commanded position or number of steps have been reached.

ISRStepper Motor Module

Motor may be connected to any four pins on one port.

Subs and Functions

(see code for parameters and other information)

Note: All angles are * 100 (i.e. 90 degrees in reality = 9000 in module)

Move - moves motor specified number of steps with given direction and speed.
MovementComplete = True when finished

MoveToPosition - moves motor as close as possible to specified degree position (0 - 359.99) with given direction and speed.
MovementComplete = True when finished

ShortestMoveToPosition - moves motor in the shortest direction as close as possible to specified degree position (0 - 359.99) with given speed.
MovementComplete = True when finished

MoveToLimit - moves motor in specified direction until a given PIC pin goes high. Can be used with a limit switch for calibrating the system to a known position. Optional StepTimeout sets number of steps after which movement stops regardless of limit switch state.
MovementComplete = True when finished. LimitSwitchReached = True if movement stopped because limit switch was triggered, False if StepTimeout reached.

ResetPosition - sets module's Position variable to specified value. Useful for setting zero point after MoveToLimit or other calibration.

Rotate - turns motor through a given number of complete revolutions plus a number of degrees (0 - 359.99).
MovementComplete = True when finished

PowerOff / PowerOn - stops / resumes output on stepper motor pins. PowerOff cancels any movement in progress.

Pause / Resume - Pauses / resumes current movement.

GetPosition - returns current degree position of motor (0 - 359.99)

GetStep - returns current step number (1 - 8)
