[Emc-users] Use of Pico Systems brush servo amps with Mesa 5i20 controller

I believe there are a few people using the Pico Systems brush PWM servo amp with mesa controller boards. One quirk of the brush servo amp is that after being enabled (coming out of E-stop) it needs a short pulse in each direction to reset the shutdown latch in the FET driver chips. In the
