Hello
What I want is for the program to print "Number of coils?" and then receive input. Then take input and then do something with it. I have a (some what) working program that lacks the initial question "Number of Coils". It's pretty ugly but works. here is what I have so far.
/* @file MyAutoCoil

|| @description
|| | Asks for user input then
|| | Makes coils with stepper motors
|| | Still incomplete, needs alot of work.
|| | At least it WORKS!!
