1) Arduino / Genuino is ArduinoAG are registered trademarks.
2) Stress exceeding this voltage or current may risk damage to the device. Functionality and reliability may be hindered if the device
exceeds these values.
The maximum current value, IOmax, does not guarantee the module can handle that much current. If the
device overheats, thermal shutdown will occur.

Software Setup
Please download
found on the provided USB flash drive to any
preferred directory.
(E.g. Libraries\Documents or Desktop)
The IDE will display the following message when
the LV8548_STEP_Program.ino file is opened for
the first time. Click “OK” to continue.
This message will be displayed if the .ino file is not
inside of a folder with the same name. (E.g.
Sketch12345.ino must be in the Sketch12345
folder).
API Library
The following process should be operated with
the
Arduino Micro disconnected.
①
Double click on the Arduino sketch for GUI
This will launch
the Arduino IDE.
(Check the Appendix, “How to install Arduino
IDE”, if the Arduino IDE is not installed)
*Some screen captures are taken from different motor driver modules

②
Include the API Library
As shown below, navigate to “Sketch→Include
Library→Add .Zip Library”
Select and install “TimerOne” in the search results
The following window will appear. Select the
“LV8548_STEP_APILibrary” folder, and open this
folder as shown below.
Click the folder only once and push “Open” button.
Do not double click the folder.
Compiling the Arduino Program
・Write
to Arduino
①
Select the Arduino board to upload to by
navigating to
“Tools→Board→Arduino/Genuino
Micro”
②
Write an Arduino sketch and navigate to
“Sketch→Verify/Compile” when finished
writing
Unless updating the function library, including the
API function library only needs to be done once.
Including the TimerOne Library
As shown below, navigate to “Sketch→Include
Library→Manage Libraries”
The IDE will display “Done compiling” after a
successful compile has been verified.
Once the library manager starts up, please type
“TimerOne” in the search bar at the top

③
Connect the PC to the Arduino Micro via
USB
and select the corresponding COM port
as shown below
Rewrite the Arduino Program
In the case of
①
or
②
below, please rewrite the
program to the Arduino
①
When updating the API Function library
1) Delete the existing API function library by
navigating to Documents\Arduino\libraries
and deleting the
LV8548_STEP_APILibrary folder.
2) Include the latest API function library.
Please save the latest API function library
in your preferred directory on your PC.
(See Page 2, “Software Setup”)
Include the latest API function library.
(See Page 2 “API Library”)
3) Compile and write the program to the
Arduino
(See Page 3, “Writing and Compiling with the
Arduino IDE”)
②
When evaluating the LV8548 DC and other
motor driver modules
(Assuming other motor driver module libraries
have already been included)
1) Compile and write the program to the
Arduino
(See Page 3, “Writing and Compiling with the
Arduino IDE”)
In the process of uploading, the Arduino Micro
bootloader will be installed.
If you are testing the LV8548 DC module
library or any other motor driver module library
for the first time, please operate according to
their corresponding manual.
④
Upload the sketch by clicking “Sketch→Upload”
or by pressing the
○
button
→
The IDE will display “Done uploading” after a
successful upload to the Arduino
Sketches written to the Arduino will not be erased
unless rewritten
If the uploading of the program fails confirm the
details in step
①
check board name and step
③
check serial port connection.
