*    @description of the program: 
*    
*    This a brushless motor control program. As an example it uses a timer to change the direction of the 
*    motor. When timer reaches 2 seconds, it changes the direction of movement and resets the timer. One can 
*    change the speed of the motor by changing the delay between brushless motor steps.
*
*    I learned the method from this website, check out the website for more information:
