Hi,
This is my attempt using the Xmos Slicekit to create a 6DOF motion controller capable of signals compatible with all types of motor drives.
This will hopefully upgrade my existing motion controller that is based on ATmega1280 microcontroller, to allow even faster and more precise control of the motion platform. Here are some demonstration videos of the capabilities of the existing controller:

Here's Mike video demonstrating a scale model, that soon will be big enough for his 737 replica cockpit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIfY82Dcyf0
Currently it outputs RC servo, PWM and Analog output signals that are enough to even drive 1000kg platform using VFD inverters or AC servomotors.
I hope I can achieve the same functionality and even better using the SliceKIT and a few extra components (I'll design a driver shield, or custom slices).
Thanks
Thanos
