I'm thinking about using the T100MD888+ as a 2-axis stepper controller. I want to do this using an analog joystick. I read
this post but something about this answer bothers me.
A joystick should be controlling speed and direction, not distance (typically). Converting the joystick value to a distance and then plugging that into a call to STEPMOVE doesn't sound right to me. Wouldn't you get a "stuttering" effect as the motor accelerates and decelerates repeatedly for each STEPMOVE call? Can you call STEPSPEED on the fly to change pps?
So am I missing something? Is it possible to use the T100MD888+ for smooth jogging using a joystick?
