Running stepper loop at specified (varying) frequency?

I am hoping to control some stepper motors with the Handy Board; I will be
wanting to control position vs time.  Therefore I will be wanting to send
out the step control waveforms at varying times (to modulate velocity).
Can this be done from Interactive C?  I am quite familiar with assembler
language on the 6811, and the various timers on board.

This seems similar to software-generated PWM, for which we use Output Compare.

Anyway, any suggestions?  Thanks.

Greg: You can run assembly from within Interactive C, so if IC isn't fast enough for you, you can build in something that is. However, IC will execute pretty quickly in terms of how fast steppers run, so it could be that IC will work for you as-is? (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
