I'm new to Python and Raspberry Pi. I'm trying to drive a stepper motor with the Rpi from this website: http://www.sundh.com/blog/2014/02/control-stepper-motors-with-raspberry-pi-and-node-js/
I find an error for my gpio variable in python. It says "Syntax Error: Invalid Syntax". Would really appreciate any help.
The error is on the first line. 'gpio' was highlighted in RED. IDLE 3 says syntax error.
Below is my code:
var gpio=require("pi-gpio");
stopMotors = false;
function sleep(milliseconds) {
var start = new Date().getTime();
for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds){
break;
}
}
}
gpio.open(16,"output",function(err){
console.log("Pin 16 open"); // Opens pin 16 as output
});
gpio.open(18,"output",function(err){
console.log("Pin 18 open"); // Opens pin 18 as output
});
// Runs motor in the set direction
function move() {
gpio.write(16, 1, function() {
sleep(1000);
gpio.write(16, 0, function() {
sleep(1000);
if(!stopMotors)move();
});
});
}
function stopMotor() {
stopMotors = true;
}
// Changing direction of motor
function left() {
stopMotors = false;
gpio.write(18, 1, function() {
move();
});
}
// Changing direction of motor
function right() {
stopMotors = false;
gpio.write(18, 0, function() {
move();
});
}
BTW is this even python? Im entering these in IDLE3.
Can you help me please?
