Hello I have this code

void turn(int direction,int speed)
{



   int i;

   if(direction==0)
   {
  
   for(i==0;i<50;i++)
  
   {

   PORTB = 0b10010000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }

   PORTB = 0b11000000;
  
   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }



   PORTB = 0b01100000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }

   PORTB = 0b00110000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }
  
   }
  
   }
   else if(direction==1)
   {
   for(i==0;i<50;i++)

   {

   PORTB = 0b00110000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }

   PORTB = 0b01100000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }

   PORTB = 0b11000000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);

   }

   PORTB = 0b10010000;

   for(i==0;i<speed;i++)
   {
   delay_ms(1);
   }

   }
  
   }


}


void main() {

  TRISB = 0b00001111;
 
  TRISD = 0b00000011;
 
  while(1)
  {
 
    if(PORTB.F0)
    
    {
 
    turn(1,10);
    
    }
    
    if(PORTB.F1)
    {
    turn(0,20);
    }
    
    delay_ms(1000);

This is MikroC for programing of a PIC microcontroller.The goal is to control a stepper motor by 2 push buttons.The push buttons are connected to pins PD0 and PD1 and the 4 pins of the stepper motor are connected to pins PB4,PB5,PB6 and PB7.Can anyone test if this is a bug because the stepper motor doesnt rotate at all , and the buttons are not working and I dont understand where I am wrong.I am using PicsimLab so if any of you has spare time and wants to answer reply!Thanks!

 

Well I found out why the buttons dont work if you examine down the code carefuly I say PORTB instead of PORTD where the buttons are connected to.But the step motor still doesnt turn.

 

Do you have the stepper directly connected to the micro outputs??

Yes it is even shown on the stepper, (the pins B4-B7) turn red on the board but they dont turn red on the stepper.

 

A micro output does not provide a sufficient current source for the average/typical stepper motor?
What is the rating of your motor?

Nah we dont have anything like that its just connecting the pins to the stepper.

Hope that is tongue in cheek!
