Stepper Motor Library Answered

Hi!

Sorry, I was unable to put library below.

So simple and yet so not so simple.

How do I get the library in the folder so the program compiles/?

Thanks

library for 28BYJ48 Stepper motor and ULN2003 driver.
Here is the source code for our 28BYJ48 stepper motor, ULN2003 driver library, as well as an implementation. Check out the diagram for the wiring.

The header file:
__________________________________________________________________


#ifndef Stepper_h
#define Stepper_h

class StepperMotor {
public:
    StepperMotor(int In1, int In2, int In3, int In4);    // Constructor that will set the inputs
    void setStepDuration(int duration);    // Function used to set the step duration in ms
    void step(int noOfSteps);    //    for(int sequenceNum = 0;  sequenceNum <= noOfSteps/8; sequenceNum++){
        for(int position = 0; ( position < 8 ) && ( position < ( noOfSteps - sequenceNum*8 )); position++){
            delay(duration);
            for(int inputCount = 0; inputCount < 4; inputCount++){
                digitalWrite(this->inputPins[inputCount], sequence[(int)(3.5 - (3.5*factor) + (factor*position))][inputCount]);
            } Arduino
        }
    }
}

An implementation:
_______________________________________________________________________

#include <StepperMotor.h>

StepperMotor motor(8,9,10,11);

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  motor.setStepDuration(1);
}

void loop(){
  motor.step(1000);
  delay(2000);
  motor.step(-1000);
  delay(2000);
}


Step a certain number of steps. + for one way and - for the other

    int duration;    // Step duration in ms
    int inputPins[4];    // The input pin numbers
};

#endif

The cpp file:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <StepperMotor.h>

    this->inputPins[0] = In1;
    this->inputPins[1] = In2;
    this->inputPins[2] = In3;
    this->inputPins[3] = In4;

    // Iterate through the inputPins array, setting each one to output mode
    for(int inputCount = 0; inputCount < 4; inputCount++){
        pinMode(this->inputPins[inputCount], OUTPUT);
    }
    duration = 50;
}

    this->duration = duration;
}

void StepperMotor::step(int noOfSteps){
