[@ericvigneron1610]

Very good work. It works good. Program is not really academic, but it works good. Little problem: when I move the joystick, and release it, the stepper is still turning slowly, and of course, the LEDs on the stepper card are blinking. If I disconnect the arduino and reconnect it, the stepper stands still and stays like that if I do not touch je joystick. As soon as I touch the joystick, it works, if I releasing the joystick, I have the same result, the stepper is moving slowly. If you have a little time to see that...... Anyway, thank you for releasing your program.

there is little delay in code you can reduce the code delay

28byj-48 stepper motor has its own limitation and running on its max speed but if you need higher speed then you have to use NEMA 17 stepper motor which is also bigger in size, futher you can search about NEMA stepper motors and its standards along with its data sheet

[@armwrestling_nerd]

A suggestion is not to draw power from the Arduino, it has not so much amperage to drive motors. Put the stepper driver to an own power source that can give the amperage that the motor wants and put the Arduino and driver on common ground.

@Pelle Chamliden thank you for your suggestion , i have faced this problem when i was working with Nema 17 Stepper motor, so i provided power to motor driver from external source and common the ground wires of arduino and external source, but actually stepper motor driver also need a ground from arduino, you can check out my other videos, thanks again
