//SETTING DESCRIPTION FOR A GEAR REDUCTION BASED MACHINE
//Setting #0: Put a 0 here when using a machine that has a gear reduction system for both the altitude and azimuth movement.
//Setting #1: Put 1 here to make the machine track the sun / Put 2 here to make the machine act as a heliostat / Put 3 here to make the machine act as a single axis sun tracker
//SETTINGS FOR MACHINE'S ALTITUDE ROTATION
//Setting #2: Put the altitude gear ratio here
//Setting #3:If you find that your altitude motor is spinning in the wrong direction, put a -1 here instead of a 1
// [or the other way around if its already -1], Put a 0 here to keep this motor from moving.
//Setting #4: Not used, put 0
//Setting #5: Not used, put 0
//Setting #6: Not used, put 0
//Setting #7: Not used, put 0
//Setting #8: Put the angle where the altitude limit switch is tripped here. Don't use 0
//END OF SETTINGS FOR MACHINE'S ALTITUDE ROTATION
//SETTINGS FOR MACHINE'S AZIMUTH ROTATION
//Setting #9 Put the azimuth gear ratio here
//Setting #10 If you find that your azimuth motor is spinning in the wrong direction, put a -1 here instead of a 1
// [or the other way around if its already -1], Put a 0 here to keep this motor from moving.

//SETTING DESCRIPTION FOR A LINEAR ACTUATOR MACHINE
//Setting #0: Put a 1 here when using a machine that has a linear actuator system for both the altitude and azimuth motion.

//BEGINNING OF SETTINGS FOR MACHINE'S ALTITUDE ROTATION
//Setting #2: Put the altitude linear actuator's Turns Per Length here (Make sure to use the same measurement system for the length that you use for everything else)
//Setting #3:If you find that your altitude motor is spinning in the wrong direction, put a -1 here instead of a 1
// [or the other way around if its already -1], Put a 0 here to keep this motor from moving.
//Setting #4: Put Length A of the altitude linear actuator here
//Setting #5: Put Length B of the altitude linear actuator here
//Setting #6: Put the starting angle (when altitude = 0) of the altitude linear actuator here
//Setting #7: Put 1 here if the altitude linear actuator becomes more acute when it moves in the positive direction. If not, put 2
//Setting #8: Put the angle where the altitude limit switch is tripped here. Don't use 0
