Porting StepMotor module example ?
-
Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to use a StepMotor Module (13.2, version 1.0), with a Core2.
The example StepmotorPulse_M039.ino includes some libraries:
#include "M5Stack.h"
#include "Module_Stepmotor.h"
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"And all seem up to date.
However, compilation fails:Compilation error: 'ledcSetup' was not declared in this scope
I read in many discussions that M5Stack.h should be replacer by M5Unified.h and FastLED.h
Is the example broken by new libraries ? Shall I downgrade the libraries ? Or change the example ?
Thanks in advance for any advice, link or reading.

@ChSimon
esp32 by Espressif ver 3 brought changes and headaches.
you can still compile with ver 2.0.17.
Ver 3 changes are outlined here:

The third party vendors, such as, but not limited to, M5Stack had to scramble, back peddle if you will.
I use ver 3.1.0 which is stable for all my projects.
'ledcSetup' was "deprecated". -
@teastain Huge thanks !
Randomnerdtutorial link is the best Christmas Gift I've received this year !
Why does not M5Stack update the examples accordingly ? Not enough human resources ?
This is deeply misleading, is not it ? -
@ChSimon My pleasure!
M5Stack releases a new gadget or two every week!
They need to support us Arduino IDE guys and the UIFlow with new drivers (libraries) and examples.
The esp32S3 variant has been a nightmare for then, apparently.
The 'esp32 by Espressif' board def, shift to ver3 was seismic.
This Community website is a resource for them because we find the problems and complain. then their engineers hunt it down and correct it.
The new Unified library helps a lot.
We have a DIY hobby!
Cheers, Terry. -
Hi everyone,
In case somebody would be interested, here is the modified version of the example code StepmotorPulse_M039 working with M5Unified.h and Espressif API updates.
Tested with an old M5Basic.
In retrospect, it's relatively obvious.
