OK So I don't see any documentation for PktUART and it would require a custom bit file. So that is something maybe I could add later in a custom bit file? In the meantime I just need something that actually works that has 3 pwm outputs and 3 encoder inputs. So can you suggest a bit file that I

Peter, Thanks for verifying this in your environment. When you say communications issue do you mean something other than electrical noise? I doubt that there is a noise issue with my communications as right now I am in a pretty good environment. There are no drives or other noisy devices
