Any way to use M101 without pause
No.
M101 is not realtime so we have to drain the realtime motion queue,
invoke M101, wait for it to exit, and then start movement again.
Spindle control can in principle operate without

I don't know about pricing direct from CUI, but digikey sells them

I hope to attend, and I hope to see fellow developers and users there.
It would be great if we can get a developer area for 6-8 networked PCs
and internet access, as past years have shown this is a great way to
work together on bugs or new features. Does someone know who to talk to
about that?
I have added some documentation for several of the kinematics components
which did not have manual pages. The documentation is in the
development version of the software, but as far as I know the gantrykins
documentation applies equally to the 2.3.x versions of emc2.
Gantry kinematics:
The text mode latency tests in /usr/realtime* have a different structure
and details than the graphical test. The graphical test more accurately
reflects what emc's realtime performance will be.
Besides involving additional emc code (rtapi), the graphical latency
test is usually run with two
stepconf will not allow this, because it usually is misconfiguration.
you can add 'net' lines in your custom.hal to achieve this goal,
however.

In your hal, use
net xindex axis.0.index-enable = ppmc.0.encoder.00.index-enable
and so on for the other axes. ('net' is a very handy syntax for 'newsig'
+ several 'linkXX' commands. = is optional and is a hint for the
reader that the communication between the two pins is bidirectional.)
