Stepper Motor won't move even after being assigned angles...

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble moving my Stepper Motor.

NOTE: The motor works with a basic test script. Ie, I press a switch, which starts a timer, and the needle attached to the stepper motor moves according to the timer. It works great.

However, it won't work with the following script:

Var 0, Link USB_STEPPER, name Chrono, Output 3, PosL 200, PosC 0, PosR 4, Type T

Var 978, name Capt_Chrono, static
{
 CALL &Clock_Calc
}

Var 8575, name Clock_Calc, Link SUBRUTINE
{
 L0 = &Capt_Chrono
 {
  L1 = L0 * 6
  &Chrono = L1
 }
}
}

Basically, the script takes a variable from Nico Kaan's Lekseecon software (chronograph time), and converts it to degrees. I check in IOCPConsole, and the "Chrono" variable is DEFINITELY being sent values, however it just stands still.

This is definitely a software issue; the motor works with other scripts and will turn perfectly always.

Cheers,

Jack

PS: IOStepper.ini, Sioc.ini, etc, etc, have all been set up correctly; it works with all my other scripts just not this one!

Any Ideas?

Love to help, Jack but I can barely spell SIOC.

Happy New year though.

Thanks anyway Reid!

Nico has solved the problem for me. I had forgotten a single space between the "=" and "120".
