Updated the web page with latest software for DSPMC that will support MPG and Homing with Index pulse and/or home sensor.  Don't forget to checkout the PID Graph tool to see response of your drive in real time.

The new MPG update allows encoder hooked up directly to DSPMC, providing real-time MPG response. No more buffered motion.

Really cool.

Looks like I will have to upgade the firmware and install the new plugin once I finish this bunch of parts.
