[Emc-users] for PCW?

2017-04-06 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings Peter; 1) This config I started out with has a watchdog.reset as a separate addf'd function which I suspect is in the leftovers that are now past their use-by date column. Can I nuke that addf entry? 2) I'm not that familiar with threads when they are added, slower than servo
