+# REPO:

+#:########################################################################################:#
+# VERSIONS:
+# V1.0 2026-06-22 Initial Version
+#:########################################################################################:#
+# HARDWARE:
+# ESP8266 D1 Mini Clone
+# 5V 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor
+# Keyestudio / ULN2003 style 5V stepper driver board
+#
+# Stepper Driver:
+# - IN1: GPIO14 / D5
+# - IN2: GPIO12 / D6
+# - IN3: GPIO13 / D7
+# - IN4: GPIO15 / D8
+# - VCC: 5V motor supply
+# - GND: Common GND with ESP8266
+#
+# Physical Buttons:
+# - Fast Forward: GPIO5  / D1
+# - Slow Forward: GPIO4  / D2
+# - Fast Reverse: GPIO0  / D3
+# - Slow Reverse: GPIO16 / D0
+#
+# Button board:
+# - Uses built-in 103 pull-up resistors, 10k ohm
+# - Buttons should pull the GPIO pin to GND when pressed
+# - Pull-ups must go to 3.3V, not 5V
+#:########################################################################################:#
+# OPERATION NOTES:
+# - Normal rotation starts automatically after boot.
+# - Default rotation is one full revolution every 365.2422 days.
+# - Default step count is 4096 steps per full revolution.
+# - Normal movement is extremely slow, about one step every 2.14 hours.
+# - Motor coils are powered only while stepping, then released.
+# - No holding torque is used.
+# - Web template switches mimic held physical buttons.
+# - Manual movement only applies while a physical button or web switch is held/on.
+# - Position counter wraps back to zero after one full rotation.
+#:########################################################################################:#
+# OFFLINE NOTES:
+# a) Home Assistant OFFLINE, but Network and MQTT ONLINE
+#    - Device remains controllable via local web portal and MQTT commands
+#    - HA entities unavailable until HA returns
+# b) MQTT OFFLINE, but WiFi/Network and HA API ONLINE
+#    - Device remains controllable from Home Assistant via API
+#    - Local web portal remains available
+# c) Entire WiFi/Network OFFLINE
+#    - No HA API, MQTT, or web control available
+#    - Physical buttons continue to work
+#    - Normal motor timing continues from device uptime
+# d) Device power loss / reboot
+#    - V1 does not restore exact astronomical position after reboot
+#    - Re-align manually using the web or physical button controls
