- Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:40 am #79136 I have tried both yield() and delay(0), and it no longer crashes. The motor makes a notice and vibrates but does not actually move? Would the delay stop it from actually moving ?

• Make sure the GPIO's in your stepper()-method correspond to the correct winding of the stepper motor
• Make sure that the "Firing order" of the GPIO's is correct
• Make sure there's enough juice to drive the stepper motor windings

Better first create (or find) a test project consisting of a controller (an actual Arduino or an ESP), two buttons and a stepper motor and write code that will let your motor step CW or CCW depending on which button you press.

When that's sorted, merge it into your (this) current project.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
