If the help I received on my first request for help is any indication of the norm on these Adafruit forums then it makes me very happy that I chose the AF Motor shield as my driver.
I have a question about how to maximize the rpms of a stepper driven by the motor shield. Seems the max I can get out of my current setup is an eyeballed 60-75 rpm. I was under the impression that I could get far more than this. My code is veru simple while loop where a digitalread is done each loop. I know this must slow down the step command so are there any techniques for making things faster????
Thanks

Re: Stepper speed
Post the code you are using now and we can look for ways to improve the performance. There are other electrical factors that can limit performance, but since you are single-stepping, we should start by looking at the code.
