Use Buttons To Control Stepper Motors
Hello Athena, I am using the stepper servo robot skill. I am trying to add 3 buttons, 1 for CW, 1 for CCW, and 1 to stop. Can you guide me on how I can achieve that? I have 2 stepper motors, both have different travel distance but they come back to position 0.

Iotiny Controller Servo PWM Issue
Hello Roboteers, I'm currently working with some minibots, and I have an idea involving the IoTiny controller, which has 7 ports-just enough for the servos. I'm planning to use port D0 for controlling the head with an LED. However, I've encountered an interesting issue: the servo's neutral position is 90 degrees, but at this point, the PWM signal...
