Hello! Just flashed OpenBeken to Smart Switch Mini, it's awesome!))) But what is my question/problem... I want to use it as a curtain controller with stepper motor and A4988 drivers with shield. WB2S has enough free PWM pins (some of them can be freely released) to control the stepper. But I'm...

If I understand correctly, you want to implement a stepper motor driver in OBK? Well, then you can look into the drivers system, add a new driver within a separate file, and write your logic here.You can look at other drivers and use them as an example. For example, here is a bridge driver by @valeklubomir: you have any programming and C experience?

Thank you for your answer!Yes, I have a little C experience, tomorrow I will look for your link, hope I'll understand)))

You can just fork OpenBeken and use online build to get binaries. So-called Release artifacts are generated every time, even in forks. You can start by editing drv_main.c and adding a new driver entry.

Can you give me a link for online build, please?

You need to fork OpenBeken main app repository and then when you commit, you get a mark here: you click that mark and get that: click details now, and you will see: then click summary: and then scroll down: if you download that artifacts 12.4MB file, you will get binaries for all platforms for that commit

Great!!! Thank you! Hope tomorrow will be good news with my project.

Hello!
Just flashed OpenBeken to Smart Switch Mini, it's awesome!)))
But what is my question/problem... I want to use it as a curtain controller with stepper motor and A4988 drivers with shield. WB2S has enough free PWM pins (some of them can be freely released) to control the stepper. But I'm stuck in searching how to realize it, maybe you can help me?

Do you have any programming and C experience?

I am creating multiplatform open source firmware (Tasmota replacement), right now supporting BK7231T, BK7231N, XR809, BL602, W800, W600, LN882H and soon supporting RTL and W701:
