M5 Stepper Motor (e.g., NEMA17)
Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
Breadboard and jumper wiresSoftware RequirementsArduino IDE (version 1.8.x or later)Code
```c
const int stepperPin = 2; // Pin for stepper motor control
const int dirPin = 3; // Pin for direction control
const int stepsPerRev = 200; // Steps per revolution for M5 Stepper Motorvoid setup() {
pinMode(stepperPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
// Move the guide rail 50 steps forward
digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH);
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
digitalWrite(stepperPin, HIGH);
delay(1);
digitalWrite(stepperPin, LOW);
delay(1);
}// Move the guide rail 50 steps backward
digitalWrite(dirPin, LOW);
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
digitalWrite(stepperPin, HIGH);
delay(1);
digitalWrite(stepperPin, LOW);
delay(1);
}
}

### Example 2: Automated Linear Actuator Using ESP32 and Servo MotorIn this example, we will use the Guide Rail for M5 Base to create an automated linear actuator system using an ESP32 board and a servo motor.Hardware RequirementsGuide Rail for M5 Base (200mm length)
M5 Servo Motor (e.g., SG90)
ESP32 Board (e.g., ESP32 DevKitC)
Breadboard and jumper wiresSoftware RequirementsESP32 Arduino Core (version 1.0.6 or later)Code
```c
#include <Servo.h>const int servoPin = 15; // Pin for servo motor control
const int GuideRailLength = 200; // Length of the guide rail in mmServo myServo; // Create a servo objectvoid setup() {
myServo.attach(servoPin);
}void loop() {
// Move the guide rail to the starting position
myServo.write(0);
delay(1000);// Move the guide rail to the end position
myServo.write(180);
delay(1000);// Move the guide rail back to the starting position
myServo.write(0);
delay(1000);
}
```
Note: In this example, the servo motor is used to control the linear movement of the guide rail. The servo motor's angular position is mapped to the linear movement of the guide rail.These examples demonstrate the versatility and ease of use of the Guide Rail for M5 Base in various IoT projects. By combining this component with other M5 components and microcontrollers, you can create complex and innovative IoT systems.
