Jon,

·· Did Parallax change the spec for the stepper motor·used in the StampWorks kit?· I just recently purchased some and I was going to test them using the StampWorks code, which is setup for 3.6°/step motors.

·· Of course I will just change the code, but I am curious if this is just because my StampWorks books are so old?· The stepper motors I got are 7.5°/step.

Thanks,

    Yes, there was a change of motors -- and I'm in the middle of updating StampWorks now. Attached is our App Note for the new stepper that will get you sorted out.

    Thanks for the AppNote...I just wanted to make sure that I didn't order the wrong part.· I understand things get updated, and it's not a big deal.· 7.5° divides into 360° just fine (48 steps), so I can change the existing code no problem.

    Jon,

    Are you revamping the entire StampWorks kit or just the stepper motor portion?

    I'm thinking of purchasing the kit but if it's going under a major revamp I can wait [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Thanks

    When the update is complete (a few months from now) you can still download the PDF of the book and use it with an existing kit.

    THERE'S A BOOK?!?!

    Just kidding...I am almost always using the thing (NX-1000) to develop my own projects on, but the entire kit is great for getting better with the BS2 and interfacing, Data aquisition, etc.
