Hi @xydix , glad to hear you have the sketch working properly. Do you have the pinmode as OUTPUT or did you change to input?

And do you still have the saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition); line commented out?

If I change the pinMode to input, I get the system powered up and connected to the mysensors gateway fine - serial print repeats 'Button Release'. If I short press the button, the system does nothing. If I hold the button for 3000ms serial print reads 'Button Long Press' and the motor turns - however If I let go of the button, the motor stop and system returns to its 'button release' state.

I'm not able to get the system in to calibration mode.

@AWI Sorry for butting in to an old thread, but automating my blinds is top priority!

I've copied your sketch and have everything setup - however, I have eratic behaviour and a few questions:

void setup() {
  // setup buttons
  pinMode(buttonPin1, OUTPUT);
  stepper1.setMaxSpeed(2000.0);
  stepper1.setAcceleration(1000.0);
  //saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition) ;      // INIT: save closed position in EEPROM
  closedPosition = loadStateL(closedPositionEE) ;       // need to get last values from EEPROM and assume the current position is correct
  setPosition = loadStateL(setPositionEE) ;
  stepper1.setCurrentPosition(setPosition );
}//--(end setup )---

• Should the pinMode on buttonPin1 actually be an INPUT?

• Can you please describe how to go about calibrating the system?

• Does the //saveStateL(closedPositionEE, closedPosition);
  need uncommenting for one boot of the arduino and the blind closed - then the sketch re-uploading with it commented again?

Your help is greatly appreciated as I have a twitching motor and feel I'm almost there!
