Hey Dave, thanks for your reply. I modified the stg driver early this week and then tested it in a lab setup with a rotary encoder - but i won't be able to test it on a live machine before Friday next week. There is a little bug that i found and fixed regarding autodetection - it won't work if you set either one of model number or base address but not both. And Alex offered to commit my fix+some new things back to CVS once that i've tested them.
What do you mean by "i sometimes wonder if it homes correctly" ? Do you suspect the stg hardware or software driver is missing the index pulse ? Or something else entirely ?
