The sketch inizializes the position of the two stepper motors, move the laser away from the x and z micro switches, and then waits for commands sent through the USB port.

Coordinate system:
- x axis across the strips, forward direction is toward the window, backward direction is toward the door (stepper motor 1);
- y axis along the strips;
- z axis toward the strips, forward direction is down, backward direction is up (stepper motor 2).

The x micro switch is connected to pin 22.
The z micro switch is connected to pin 23.

The stepper motors have two different speeds, one for non-precise and one for precise positioning, respectively.

ASCII printable characters:
+ ---> 43;
0 ---> 48;
1 ---> 49;
2 ---> 50;
3 ---> 51.

The only allowed commands (checked before and after being sent through the USB port) are:
+10 ---> move one step forward along x;
+20 ---> move one step backward along x
+30 ---> move at the opposite edge of the silicon sensor (along x);
+40 ---> move back;
+01 ---> move one step forward along z;
+02 ---> move one step backward along z;
+03 ---> do not do anything;
+04 ---> do not do anything.

Distances in microns.

For Hans410 sensor:
- the laser is initially on the strips corresponding to Beetle channels 216/220;
- +30 brings the laser on the strips corresponding to the Beetle channels 16/20;
- +40 brings the laser on the strips corresponding to the Beetle channels 216/220.
