I have been working on a spindle component that can handle up to 16 
gears. For each gear you can specify the acceleration, deceleration, min 
speed, max speed and output scaling. If you have a spindle encoder it 
uses the feedback to limit the acceleration based on spindle load. It 
also provides a filtered spindle speed output for a spindle speed 
display. I still need to do some cleanup work but it is working well on 
my lathe. I'll release it once I have finished tidying it up.
