I hooked up a pic using modbus and a mpg to the pic, when i got i get 10,11,12,13,12,11 counter or clockwise.... i'm thinking of just adding a second parallel port.. on a parallel port is it possible if using pins 2 to 9 to make a button array lets say using 4 input pins for buttons giving 1000,0100,0010,0001,1100,0110 ... etc i'm wondering if this could be mapped into the brain controll take  oeminput1 and compare it to the other inputs.. anyone try this or have any ideas?

yeah if i edit the a moves by hand to lets say a feedrate of 2000 it zips along, not an ideal solution as some of these files have alot of lines
