Kevin, Go to http://www.mpm1.com:8080/GandL/configs/18_Feb_2008 and look at the .ini file and the file the .ini file calls in the hal section. They show how to combine the position feedback from two sources. With your explanation of the machine you want to build I would suggest looking at pumakins also. Pumakins may be closer to what you want. Stuart
