To our project we use this code in arduino shown below,

Its to move the stepper motor for a desired steps(pulses)

The problem of this code is that it move right after we turn on the power source that connecting to the arduino, and we need to modify it to make it move after we give a command in command window to start the movement. Please help if you know how to modify it to our purpose( maybe with sirial monitor?) or give as any suggestions how to modify it ( to make the code start when only we command the code to start)

the code:

const int stepPin = 5;

const int dirPin = 2;

const int enPin = 8;

void setup() {

pinMode(stepPin,OUTPUT);

pinMode(dirPin,OUTPUT);

pinMode(enPin,OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(enPin,LOW);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(dirPin,HIGH); // Enables the motor to move in a particular direction

for(int x = 0; x

digitalWrite(stepPin,HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(500);

digitalWrite(stepPin,LOW);

delayMicroseconds(500);

}

delay(1000); // One second delay

digitalWrite(dirPin,LOW); //Changes the direction of rotation

for(int x = 0; x

digitalWrite(stepPin,HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(500);

digitalWrite(stepPin,LOW);

delayMicroseconds(500);

}

delay(1000);

}
