PowerStep01 component - Stepper motor driver

Hello, searching for a Component or Flowcode example for controlling a PowerStep01 driver chip (ST) as single chip or on a X-nucleo-ihm03a1 prototyping module. See https://www.st.com/en/motor-drivers/powerstep01.html
My hardware setup runs in a factory demo application, but now try to control it trough Flowcode8.
Specially the SPI command structure Send & Get commands are not clear now.
Any example or simular application available?
Kind regards,
Luuk Aalders

Hello Luuk,

Here is the start of a component you can play with. I don't currently have time to do the full component but hopefully it gives you a start and allows you to make progress.

Hello Ben,
many thanks for this Powerstep example!
Still had problems sending the right SPI protocol so we had the first system build with a simple digital pulse controlled for now.
With this example can try to change it to the better PowerStep01 driver, indeed needed a working basic example wich i can expand myselve.
Can take some weeks (pending holiday), but i will keep you posted!

Thanks for the great support,
Regards
Luuk
