Hi Ian As I said, although it needs more thought, the hardware would mostly consist of a Pic, a IR2184 bridge and some FETS. The code could be ported to the Pic of your choice. The real difficulty is that such hardware would be difficult to test without the EMC side. The pic would just be translating data, but all the thinking is done by EMC.
