Minimal Code WITH Wait

Below is the MINIMUM amount of code to make a motor move if you want your code to wait for the VXM program to finish before your code continues.

function M = MinimumCodeToMoveMotor
      LoadDriver

      %The DriverTerminalShowState command is for debug purposes
      %and not necessary to move the VXM motor

      DriverTerminalShowState(1, 0) %Show Terminal on Desktop
      PortOpen(1, 9600) %Open Com1 at 9600 Baud
      PortSendCommands('F,C,I1M400,I1M-400,R') %Motor 1 Move 400 steps each direction
      PortWaitForChar('^', 0) %Halt program until VXM sends a "^" (program complete)
      PortClose
      DriverTerminalShowState(0, 0) %Hide Terminal
      ReleaseDriver
end
