I had thought about using start stop switches. However this device is more on the sensitive side and I would prefere the movement of the motor to be programmed to ease in and ease out instead of coming to a sudden stop.
Also I had planned to give power to this knowing that USB wouldn't provide enough.
It does have an indicator light. However I would like to keep the modifications of the device itself to a minimal. All I want to do is make a stand that I can put this device on and have it work independently.
