AccelStepper library for Arduino

This is the Arduino AccelStepper library. It provides an object-oriented interface for 2 or 4 pin stepper motors.

The standard Arduino IDE includes the Stepper library (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper) for stepper motors. It is perfectly adequate for simple, single motor applications.

AccelStepper significantly improves on the standard Arduino Stepper library in several ways:

• Supports acceleration and deceleration
• Supports multiple simultaneous steppers, with independent concurrent stepping on each stepper
• API functions never delay() or block
• Supports 2 and 4 wire steppers, plus 4 wire half steppers.
• Supports alternate stepping functions to enable support of AFMotor (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library)
• Supports stepper drivers such as the Sparkfun EasyDriver (based on 3967 driver chip)
• Very slow speeds are supported
• Extensive API
• Subclass support
