The sketch inizializes the position of the two stepper motors.

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.

Distances in microns.
