A simple library for controlling stepper motors through the GPIO pins on a raspberry pi. Adapted from the arduino library using bcm2835.

Move.cpp is a simple example program that bounces the stepper motor. Edit the file to reflect the steps per revolution and speed.

Requires bcm2835. To install first download the latest version of bcm2835.

E.g. curl -O http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.xx.tar.gz

Then

tar zxf bcm2835-1.xx.tar.gz
cd bcm2835-1.xx
./configure
make
sudo make check
sudo make install

To build, run g++ Move.cpp Stepper.cpp -std=c++11 -lbcm2835
