Icom CI-V stepper allows tuning with stepper motor Nema 17 some devices dependancy to Icom frequency
Switch for calibrate start point motor stepper (zero step, zero °). After start up stepper spins reverse ↺ and wait for endstop signal who stops him and resets counters.
Connect two phase 'NEMA 17
' stepper motor. Another type not supported. One of the phases is known by the ohmmeter. Another phase is isolated.
* If stepper rotate reverse, you can change polarity one phase or activare reverse from CLI.

!! BCD input
Activate by grounded +5V pull-up.

!! CAT
Connected to Icom or MicroHam CI-V outputs.

!! TX Inhibit output
Open collector without pull-up.

!! Power supply
24V with 1A power rating. Lowest voltage accepted, but stepper lower torque.

!! USB Command Line Interface (CLI)
!!! How to connect
* Connect USB micro cable between CLI stepper and your PC
* install [PuTTY terminal|https://www.putty.org/]
* after run it set
'com port
' dependency to your system
baudrate to '115200
'
Connection type to 'Serial
'
In Terminal category turn off options 'Implicit CR
' and 'Implicit LF

!Firmware
For upload firmware you have two possibilities
# Download 'source
' from [GitHub|https://github.com/ok1hra/CI-V_stepper] and compile in [Arduino IDE|https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software]
## Install [EEPROM library|https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries]
# Download 'compiled binary
' from [release page|https://github.com/ok1hra/CI-V_stepper/releases] and upload with some tool
## for example [avrdude|http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/avrdude.html] or [Xloader|http://xloader.russemotto.com/] for windows
!! Firmware source
contains some settings which does not available from CLI
* You can enter 'frequency and uStep directly in to firmware
' without CLI wizard. How to
Disable preset coment line
Write frequency and uSteps i to arrayunsigned_long_storagefreqtostep_112_2_7000000_0_7010000_500_7020000_1000_7030000_1500_7040000_2000
Upload firmware
Select BCD input to bank-0 (must be, because only bank-0 saved also frequency, higest bank saved uStep only)
Save frequency/uStep table from RAM to EEPROM with command [s] in CLI
Replay edit table, upload and save for any higher bank
After fill EEPROM to your liking, enable command in source file
After upload frequency/uStep table will be set by preset selected bank. For more info use command [l] or [e] in CLI.
* Time (second number in ms) after which reduce stepper current and save last position to eeprom, if disable endstoplong_currentruntimeout_2_0_1000
* Enable serial debug if uncoment this line
* CLI baudrate, default is 115200const_int_baudrate0_115200
!MQTT variant * need install wiznet ethernet module * use another firmware [GitHub|https://github.com/ok1hra/MQTT-stepper] * for setup and control see source code header
