Hi Karl,
thank you for your comments.
Well, my thoughts were in line with yours basically, however, I don't know how to program USB in Delphi (yet), so I intend to use LPT and RS232 (by toggling data / control lines).
Also I changed GUI somewhat, have a look at working version lower in the hread. Now it also creates a file and stores current position in it by clicking a button.
Button for reverse and ON/OFF function are a good ideas (I was thinking about rotating the motor connector by 180° for reversing - if wires are allocated properly, it is the easiest way, I am using this method on all my designs with steppers. However reversing on software side is better idea), I will certainly think about the way how to implement them.
