Raspberry PIO stepper library (pio_stepper_lib) is a C++ library that runs stepper motors in PIO state machines. It's intended to be easy to integrate and use in Pico projects.

While designing a library for stepper motors, it bothered me that I had to put stepper driver IC logic across my user code.To solve that, I made a little driver lib.
First I looked what logic shabaz and I put in our stepper projects, and s...
SPI ICs usually have an active low chip select pin (~CS, nCS, ...). I have a Texas Instruments IC (stepper motor driver DRV8711) that has an active high CS.
Initially, I bit-banged the CS pin: set it high with the GPIO API before communication, ...
Stepper motors are super-useful for precision movements.
I made a little stepper motor board a while back, but never got around to testing it at the time.

In a previous post, I figured out how PIO -> ARM interrupts work, and how to handle them in C. What I learned was that a traditional interrupt is easy. Relative interrupts are more involved. The interrupt part adds significant ...
There are decent examples available on how to handle PIO interrupts in C. But not so much on dealing with relative IRQs.
With a normal IRQ, PIO fires an interrupt with a fixed number. The number that you give it. A relative IRQ - ...

This morning we are excited to announce the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM
We first announced Raspberry Pi 5 back in the autumn of 2023, with just two choices of memory density: 4GB and 8GB. Last summer, we released the 2GB variant, aimed at cost-se...
