1. Updated the "FineTune" Delays and Rotation to be more accurate 2. Replaced "Steps" with "Delay" - It will be more clear to understand 3. Fix typo in a comment |

WiFi Stepper Motor Controller
Control Stepper Motor remotely using WiFI using ESP8266, DRV8825 and the Blynk App
The Project
Tuning the Magnetic loop antenna, by controling the capacitor remotely, using Wifi. I built a Magnetic Loop Antenna, and my idea was to control the tuning capacitor remotely.
Please visit my YouTube channel to see this project in action

This project is based on:
- ESP8266 Micro Controller
- DRV8255 Stepper Motor Driver
- Bipolar stepper motor
- Blynk Application
The Blynk App
In the Blynk app, I added five virtual buttons:
- V0 - Tune Left
- V1 - Tune Right
- V2 - Fine Tune Left
- V3 - Fine Tune Right
- V4 - Scan
DRV8825 - Motor Driver
The DRV8825 is a smart motor driver that can be used with normal steps and even with micro-steps, and that can be controlled by the driver's pins M0, M1, M2. In my case I wanted to use the 1/32 micro-steps, and these are the speeds that you will see in the code. More details about this driver can be found here: https://www.pololu.com/product/2133
Arduino IDE
When you are using the Arduino IDE, you will probalby need to install the Blynk library, so please follow this procedure: From the Arduino IDE menu:
- Go to "Sketch" --> "Include Library" --> "Manage Libraries"
- Search for "Blynk", and install it
