V1.4.1 - Various enhancements
- On boot, the system walks you through initial setup (CTRL, HA). - Moved tracking stepper to its own function. - Changed behavior of SELECT in HA menu to confirm choice instead of zeroing HA. - Added a message to HOME if you are already home and press SELECT - Removed extra empty case statements in the menus. - Changed the buttons that move the rig in CTRL mode. LEFT moves left, RIGHT moves right. SELECT ends CTRL mode - Added a prompt when leaving CTRL mode whether to set home point .
