Stepper motor with motor driver coding problems

[Guest]

Hi all, I'm like a new born baby in PIC world.

I have a 5 phase Stepper Motor with Motor Driver, previously I controlled it by using PLC, simply include the function of motor in the ladder diagram will do. However, I have a problem with PIC16F877a coding, the motor driver have 2 inputs for stepper, 1st input is clockwise movement, 2nd input for counter-clockwise.

I have referred to the examples like ex_pwm.c, ex_ccpmp.c, ex_ccp1s.c, ex_step.c and other solutions provided in this forum. I would like to know for sure:
1)Does " setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM)" means enabling the pin17, which is RC2/CCP1 to become CCP1 instead of standard I/O pin?
2)If yes, then how's the coding is going to be? I've tried to measure the outpin with oscilloscope using the code as above, but what i get is noise....
3)Does i mean, i only need to plug in output from CCP1 and CCP2 pins to CW and CCW input of the motor driver? Because, all i need is pulse...

Thanks a lot for answering my question.

in case the page seems blurred, i made some clarifications here, there are 2 main inputs for this driver, which is CW/pulse and CCW/direction, other is for stepper motor and power supply, which is not concerned in PIC.

o-------------------CW+
CW/Pulse
0-------------------CW-


0-------------------CCW+
CCW/direction
0-------------------CCW-


Thanks for helping.

Actually, i dont really understand all the coding in the example, but at least now i can get the square wave output on the oscilloscope. I'm playing around with the coding now...

thanks for your help.
