Re: 6 steppers, half success

[Till Franitza <xfa-at-isw.uni-stuttgart.de>]

Hallo Frad!
Yes, I spotted the problem and i spotted pieces of code where the same problem was
solved. So it was not a problem for me to fix this.
The only thing that is missing now for my Minihexa to work is the Plattform. Motors
are running well. I will tell you about further success.
Thanks.
