Hmmmm. This should be possible, but it's a bit more tricky with stepper motors
- you have to allow for the speed-up and slow-down. Thus just calling
motor_speed(50) would have to initiate a task that starts with slow pulses
(rotating between the X stepper coils), gradually increasing till it reaches
the desired speed. Same with slowing down. And it gets really tricky when you
want to slow down before you've finished speeding up.
I was thinking of doing something similar with normal motors, to provide full
control of speeding up & slowing down, potentially for implementing RCX
"driven" trains. Haven't got around to it yet.
