Technical solutions are described for controlling operation of a motor using a controller to: energize the motor to rotate driveshaft and a worm; drive a worm gear by the worm; stop the motor from rotating the driveshaft in response to the worm gear rotating to a given one of a plurality of first stop positions; and change the given one of the first stop positions to another one of the first stop positions. A method for controlling a machine comprises: rotating a driveshaft by a motor; driving a worm gear by a worm to cause the worm gear to rotate; stopping the motor from rotating the driveshaft in response to the worm gear rotating to a given one of a plurality of first stop positions; and changing the given one of the first stop positions to another one of the first stop positions.
