Bob,
I understand what you're saying. I've given your request a little more thought. If this project gets off the ground, I have an idea for implementing programmable endpoints using a really simple method. I have a number of other features in mind as well. Things like servo reversing, fail-safe positioning, DMX signal loss indication, etc.
The main thing I'm concerned about with such a project is the cost-benefit of any given feature. If it's overly complex to implement a given feature for what I think might be little gain (benefit to the general DLA user group), I'll probably not go there.
We'll see where this all goes once the DLA leadership chimes in.
Dave
