// Initialize stepper motor library
Stepper stepper(STEPS_PER_REV, DIR_PIN, STEP_PIN);
void setup() {
// Set stepper motor speed and acceleration
stepper.setSpeed(100);
stepper.setAcceleration(100);
}
void loop() {
// Move the stepper motor 100mm forward
stepper.moveTo(100);
stepper.run();
delay(1000);
// Move the stepper motor 50mm backward
stepper.moveTo(-50);
stepper.run();
delay(1000);
}
