#print("Steppin!")

stepper.step(numsteps, direction, style)

#print("Done")

We have some commented-out print statements in case you want to do some debugging.

Then, whenever you want to make the first stepper move, you can call:

st1 = threading.Thread(target=stepper_worker, args=(myStepper1, numsteps, direction, stepping_style))

st1.start()

Which will spin up a background thread to move Stepper1 and will return immediately. You

can then do the same with the second stepper:

st2 = threading.Thread(target=stepper_worker, args=(myStepper2, numsteps, direction, stepping_style))

st2.start()

You can tell when the stepper is done moving because the stepper thread you created will

'die' - test it with st2.isAlive() or st2.isAlive() - if you get True that means the stepper is still

moving.

Using "Non-blocking" oneStep()

OK lets say you want a lot of control over your steppers, you can use the one

oneStep(direction, stepstyle) which will make a single step in the style you request, with no delay.

This will let you step exactly when you like, for the most control
