Interesting this QtQuick VCP project. I could add some basic CAD plugin to it.
Too bad for the ppmc module, I'm not sure I can find the time for that level of commitment (i.e. porting ppmc). I can always ask Jon Elson, but before I do, has anyone successfully used any parport-based controller for a servo-loop with machinekit? Another question would be: The univpwm board read encoders and controls motor drives via (proportional to duty cycle) pwm signals. Would how much work would i t be to do the same thing with e.g. the DE0-Nano ?
