I have been thinking about this and I don't think that exporting motor data is a good idea, at least not in case of Phantom driver. The fact that there are 3 motors is a hardware implementation detail and it is not interesting for general application. My understanding that the end result of controlling these 3 motors is a force vector (I don't know if there is such english term, this is a literal translation from russian) applied to user's hand. If we are interested in using FF API we need to come up with a way to express this effect without exposing implementation details of one particular device. -- Dmitry
