#131239 - Ah... That is the catch :)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Since the declaration of the funcition states:
void step_the_motor(signed char inc) {

then the mentioned line in implementation:
index += inc;

simply means:
index = index + inc;

It looks like (declared as it is) 'inc' can hold any signed char value that is passed to the function not just +/-1.

Well, that's why the 'descriptive' name for variable (inc) in otherwise clear and decent code :)

Best luck,
CN
