ok thanks again for the reply's
UKHeliBob ... I tried the eeprom.put and get ... no luck...I installed the serial print to check what I get and it's "2046820361" as a result...go figure.
MarkT ... Don't I have to have "stepper.run" in every of my sub-functions? Don't they act as loops? And when I try to use "stepper.stop()" I get "class Accelstepper has no member named stop".
Robin2 ... Sorry .. If I take the "stepper.run" out of my functions and put one into my "void loop" stepper does not turn at all.
Here is the update code
