Stepper don't work with Mysensors library
- 
					
					
					
					
 Mary Cristmas to all I try to make a sketch with a A4988 driver. When i activate mysensor library the stepper dont work not good any more. 
 The stepper is not turning well.
 When i remark the my sensor library the everything is working okee.
 Can some one help me and give me a good advise.
 The sketch is a beginning and not ready yet.

 @TON-RIJNAARD the way this code drives the motor requires 100% cpu all the time, so it will have trouble co-existing with almost any library. To my knowledge, you'll either need to write custom code that doesn't use delay, something similar to what is discussed in http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=137269.0 or you need to use a stepper motor library that already does that. I am not sure if http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/ supports the A4988 but it might be worth a shot.

 Stumbled on an Instructables that could be useful:

 @mfalkvidd Tanks for the help i give it atry. I am new to arduino so maby i need more help. I let you now when it is nessesary. Greatz Ton
