Hi, first of all I apologize for my English, (I translate with google translator), I would like to submit a small, big problem. I run a stepper motor with Arduino Mega to place a cart by entering the measurement with keypad. The problem is that when I turn off the machine, clearly the carriage is in position 0 and so on power is a problem. I wanted to know if changing the code you can add a loop and a condition so that "order" to Arduino, the power of the same, with the push of a dedicated button, to reset the engine. Or to the engine button is pressed will step back up to find a sensor to "zero" and then create the ideal condition to start the second loop. I ask for help for my limits in the knowledge of the subject.
Thank you.
Domenico greetings
