LabVIEW to Arduino? LINX! But for steppers?? NOPE!

[tsakitsan]

As I have not received any reply from the National Instruments website nor the arduino community.

All the hope that is left is in this community. I am currently working on a project controlling linear actuators powered by stepper motors.

Even though I can control the direction and speed of the motor I cannot control the steps it will do.

I remember on LIFA there was StepsToMove function? How can I specify the exact steps? Which block should I use?
The duration should be an answer to that (ms connecting wire) But it does not work at all. The motor continues after the specified time.
Bonus Question: How can I stop the stepper through the front panel, whatever I do even if I stop the vi, the motor keeps the last command.

Hey tsakitsan,

The Stepper commands were never ported to LINX.  This was mainly because the library we used in LIFA worked well on Ardiuno Uno/Mega but was not generally available on other devices.

At this point the best way to control a stepper with LINX is to use a custom command.  Example here.
