Hi Rudy
I know this is a while back, but did you get your robot working?

Hi Roland
Sort of, but not reliably. To read the first part of the serial data
containing the abs encoder positions was a real problem. I tried to read the
data in a hal-component, but it was not relaible. I got side-tracked but
hope to get a better solution someday. I suppose there are better ways to do
it .

I have been considering adding this capability to a variant of the normal
HostMot2 quadrature encoder. Basically adding a RX UART with a mode bit
thats cleared on recieving the EOM character (CR?) that switches from UART
to incremental mode. The mode bit would be set via a hal pin.
