#include <Arduino_EMBRYO_2.h>

StepMotor axis(1, A5, 5, 6, 3, 4, A2, A1, 2, 12);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {};
  axis.begin();
  Serial.println("Press the Start Button to start the machine");
  while(!axis.ready()); // Wait for Start button to be pressed
}

  if(axis.readBtnForward()) axis.moveDistance(5);
  if(axis.readBtnBackward()) axis.moveDistance(-5);
