I propose that we branch stepconf and create a new advancedconf  
wizard to ultimately be included in EMC2 releases alongside stepconf.

Ability to import stepconf and save advance conf

The new wizard might eventually support things such as:
Tabs for configurations using:
     Step/Dir
     PWM
     Analog 0-10 vdc
Tabs to help implement:
     Pendant/MPG/Joystick
     Spindle Encoder
     Backlash Comp
     Draw Pyvcp panels supporting all existing widgets and
         Create MDI Commands
     (Maybe Classic Ladder at some point)
     and to the point that it is designed to be user customizable  
(support for Axis customization)

Support for Configuration of stepper and servo systems using:
     Mesa HostMot2 - 5I20 & 7I43
     PicoSystems - ???

Support for conversions to EMC2 using various existing machines, BOBs  
and drives:
     Machines:
         Sherline
         Industrial Hobbies
         Tormach
         Smithy
         Seig, etc
     Drives:
         Geckodrive G540
         Xylotex
         Geckodrives
         The new mini-cpld drives, etc
     BOBs
         CandCNC
         Campbell (SoundLogic)
         CNC4PC, etc

Servo tuning as well as stepper testing
Scale verification facility (check requested motion relative to  
achieved motion) and scale adjustment.

Possibly the ability to output a wiring list that would allow someone  
to create a config
and then wire a controller to match.

Also a procedure by which a implementor or manufacturer could provide
the necessary information in a required format and have a new drive,  
BOB or
machine to the configuration wizard.

I would also suggest that we create an actual plan for development  
(goals and priorities)

Thanks,
Alan
