Andy, this is REALLY AWESOME. I just totally LOVE this mailing list!
I will definitely try to get it to work, I figure a 10 second timeout should do it. To use it, I would - instantiate this comp - connect its motor-pos-cmd input to motor-pos-cmd of the corresponding pid - connect the comp's current-in input to the output of the PID - Connect the current-out output to the DAC Right?
