Done. Now it's working ok and the leds are all on. There's one led that's blinking on the bottom of the board but I guess it's normal.
By the way, generating a configuration with PNCCONF was tricky and the final configuration didn't worked because one pin was liked two times, so I used John's files and worked well. I was able to read the encoder but not to send the voltage output to feed the variator so I'm going to try this monday. Thanks as always and all be telling you in a few days how it works! 2013/11/29 Peter C.
