class circuitpython_ticstepper.TicMotor(step_mode: StepModeValues = StepModeValues(value=0, multiplier=1), *, steps_per_rev=200)

Base class for TIC stepper motors

Parameters

step_mode (StepModeValues) – The step mode to use

clear() → None

Clears and reinits the stepper motor

drive(rpm: float) → None

Drives the motor at a given speed

Parameters

rpm (float) – The speed to move the motor in RPM

halt_and_set_position(position: int) → None

Stops the motor and sets the position

move(units: int) → None

Moves the given number of steps/microsteps

Parameters

units (int) – The number of steps/microsteps to move

property step_mode: StepMode

Gets and sets the stepper step mode
