Subject: [Emc-developers] Absolute resolvers

Using the position.txt file and a tweak to the Mesa resolver driver I
have had good results making my lathe work as if it has absolute
encoders.

Does anyone have any opinions about whether I should, or should not, push it?

Naturally it would need docs, but you basically just need to connect
joint-pos-fb to the resolver module so that it can see the value read
in from the position.txt file and set a bit parameter to say "wait for
that value"

This should also work for any 1 turn absolute encoder (like the common Hall effect encoders from AMS etc)
