If I was to do pendents on the GO704, or on the gantry, that would be pretty slow stuff, and I could load software encoders enough to hook them up to the 2nd breakout and run all that in a 100 hz jog thread. Similar to what I'm doing on the pi already since its 7i90 can give me 4 encoders in hardware. Gotta luv it.
