Make sure the slider motor is positioned to your left and move

the carriage to the left side (closest to the motor) of the track

using the joystick.

This procedure requires measuring the distance the slider moves

from start point to end point. The easiest way to do this is to move the

carriage all the way to the end of the track (point A), run the calibration,

then measure the gap between point A and point B when complete.
