Any chance you can give an explanation of how the encoder board injects
position into mach3? Is the encoder position updated in mach three
during every cycle or is your board calculating some position
information and doing a comparison to mach's position information?

I've got a project coming up that could really use some position
feedback. I'll be using mach3, geckos, and servos.

Thanks,

Chris
