But Chris, I already have a control cable from the bob laying out where I can play with it, and all I have to do is hook the control signals to the correct places on the new board. If it moves the motor, hook up the encoder cable too. If that works, take it apart and make it neat. Its already all done in linuxcnc, why should I learn a new processors language just to prove it does or does not work? Seem like a good way to waste another 2 months, I can do it tomorrow. I still have way more work than this making the motor mounts and installing an index generator on the bs-1 so I can calibrate its SCALE since I have no clue what the scale of the motors built in encoder has, so measure it by 100 times past the index. And divide the count difference by 100 for the SCALE. That code is also already done, all I have to do is steer the motors encoder signals to the 2nd encoder and steer that code to watch the 2nd encoder. Read the answer with a halmeter. But its all commented out in the hal file as I knew I'd need it again when I wrote it years ago.
