ZEROING

If USE ENDSTOP is enabled, the focuser will move DOWN until the homing-sensor is activated
(actually it will move downwards 32767 steps (INT16 MIN), in order to prevent the focuser from
moving forever in case the sensor is defective). It will then stop (with a deceleration ramp) and
subsequently move back to the exact position the sensor was triggered. Then the absolute posi-
tion is then set to 0.
If USE ENDSTOP is disabled, the current position will be set to 0 (equivalent to "SET POSI-
TION:0").
Example Command:
$BS ZEROING\r\n
Example Answer:
$BS OK\r\n
