@6ee90ca1 does it pause because there’s a sensor to read, or just to ensure there’s no momentum and slip?

Asking because I have a similar device I’ve always wanted to build for a family member’s business (for something more like hose than wire), but I assumed I’d use a button, a read out, and let them manually stop at length. 

 @bf313442 It pauses so I can cut it by hand. You set the length and quantity and then hit “go” and you cut the wire with a hand tool at each pause.
