I would like to keep most of the physical controls from my Dynapath control (cycle start, feed hold, E-stop, feed rate override, spindle speed override).  I think I can handle the first three, but I'm not sure about the override pots.  Would I wire the wiper to an analog in on the Galil and write a brain for Mach, or is there a better way?  I though about just doing the spindle speed override with a Galil program, but I don't think this would work for feed rate.

Yes, analog to the Galil, value to the user DRO range specified in the config dialog general tab, and then do a brain to move that user DRO value to the appropriate Mach DRO.

That way, when you turn the knob, the Mach screen also updates.

Thanks for the help, that was easy enough.  Just one detail for the record, with the 5-8 axis 2000 series boards the analog ins are only available on the A-D cable.  I had been using the E-H axes because of some earlier troubleshooting.
