Mach1 closed loop? sortof-NOW was Mach1 w/ toolchanger? Yes.

Jon,

Yes. more than "hope"...

P.S. They're a few things Art has to do first, but encoders are
already being read; and the s/w is even now set up to "read the
pulses" for input of position (Art feeds these "inputs" with "fake
pulses"--from his output p/streams-- for now) So it's not too far
from already done. Especially since Art has probably become the world
expert on at least the motion planning and interpreter parts of the
EMC source... AND he has more than a bit of the "big boys" of cnc as
interested parties... And they'll want real servos...
