Homing Sequence Code

This document defines functions to control the stepping of a motor to home its position. It sets pin assignments for controlling the coils of the stepper motor. The setup function defines the pins and ensures the motor is shut off initially. The loop function then carries out 4 parts - moving the motor quickly away from the switch, slowly away, slowly back, and then slowly a fixed distance away, before shutting off. Additional functions are defined for full step and half step control in both directions, and to shut the motor down.
