Hello, I recently built a Simhub Belt Tensioner I love it!.  Normally, feedback is great - except if things get really hairy (crash) etc.  And the accelerated stepper movement will occasioionally 'pop' or lose steps. (might be because I'm leaning forward at that moment, etc). I was thinking if I had a programmable USB key (like a single key on a keyboard)  Many options available @ Amazon for example.  If the software had that feature I could mount that on my dash and when I press that button it would tell the arduino to stop sending feedback data to the arduino, repark the levers and reset '0' point then start resending data.  

 

Thanks!

Feeling pretty dumb.  I found where you can map a keystroke to a function - so now I have the Z key mapped to enable/disable motion which forces a recalibrate.  You do have to press the button twice once to disable, once to enable but I think i can handle that!

If the double press is the only thing that's a little cumbersome, you could consider adjusting it further if possible (maybe tweaking the delay or how it's recognized). But even with the double press, it sounds like you've got a pretty solid solution.
Are you planning to map any other functions to different keys, or just focusing on the motion recalibration for now?
