Limit use of getPosition but add to startup if possible #13

Querying the motor takes a while, so it's best to avoid it when possible.

However, if it's possible to detect if a motor is already running, this will be useful at startup and for validity checking when the user is not doing anything.

I'm actually beginning to think this is a bad idea. In the case of switching off computers on running motors, this could lead to inaccuracies.

Resolved; we want to be able to disconnect computers and have the pump continue operating.
