Linistepper Equatorial Drive Source

/******************************************************************************
  Lini_Telescope.c   v1.0    10th Dec 2011 - Roman Black
  written in MikroC, open-source (but please credit me as the author)
  Code size is small, this should compile ok in the free version of MikroC.

  This code drives the LiniStepper open-source stepper motor controller
  at either of 2 fixed speeds. The speeds can be adjusted to a very high
  resolution (suitable for telescope or other precision movement).

  The stepper motor always drives in microsteps (usteps), 6 usteps to a
  full step, which gives 1200 usteps per motor rotation.

  PIC 16F628A, using 3 control input pins;
  PORTA.F0 = INPUT_RUN run; (0v=run, 5v=stop)
  PORTA.F1 = INPUT_DIR motor direction; (0v=forward, 5v=reverse)
  PORTA.F2 = INPUT_SPEED selects speed 1 or speed 2; (0v=speed1, 5v=speed2)
  (note! the 2 dipswitches on the LiniStepper are not used).

// NOTE! Set TABS to 2 for best viewing
