For my Physics project my team and I are making a CT scanner that will used image reconstruction in matlab using data acquired from change in light intensity when the test-piece crosses a photodiode. My aspect is to translate and rotate the test piece (i.e square,triangle etc.). I am wondering what the best way to go about this is, I have a main body of a program that allows to turn a rod and therefore moving the platform in a straight line, I need to the program to turn clockwise(i.e. forward) for a certain amount of steps and then once its reached this value, reverse in the opposite direction (i.e. backwards). Once it initially crosses the laser, the test piece will rotate using the rotational stepper and then be translated back through the laser for more dimensional data to be taken.
This is the code I have so far.
