Accelstepper Nema17 Gradually Increasing Speed in Compass Magnet Motor

The Nema17 pancake stepper motor can go faster when steadily increasing speed than when it starts and stops.

Our compass magnet motor with only 6 3/4x1/4 inch N52 neo magnets can get up to 96 RPM and stay in phase. The stepper motor can go much faster.

The Arduino code with the accelstepper.h library is very simple and almost entirely based on the example they provide with the library for "constant speed". We only added timer interrupts and a few if clauses to change the speed at controlled intervals.

Stay tuned:)
