need.  I was wondering if anyone has an example where they utilize the gears 
parameter.  It seems that it allows negative gear ratios and scaling the 
spindle.N.output by the selected gear ratio.  This would most likely solve the 
forward/reverse problem as well as scaling for backgear without the need for a 
mult or mux component to reverse the SSR’s for direction.  Manual link below 
for reference:

Well, interesting. Now, where does spindle come from? In my configs, I have signals like :
spindle.0.forward
and
spindle.0.speed-out

But, there is no loadrt spindle command anywhere. Has spindle been broken out of one of the other catch-all components in the latest builds? It looks like some of the signal names are different, too.

Thanks,

Jon
