Arduino Test Code
Simple tests to help debug and check your arduino and cartesian robot.
- pRINToPTO - doesn't move any motors, only prints the status of the opto switches to the arduino IDE terminal.
- hOMING - brings back all the axes one by one to the home position using only the opto switches as feedback (no sanity checks).
- rECTANGULARsPIRAL - prints the above rectangular spiral from the current position (no homing). width height and margins are easily modifiable.

FiveD on Arduino
Rewrite of FiveD firmware for the Arduino by Triffid Hunter and more. It avoids C++ in favour of plain C, and uses 100% integer math.
