Oliver, bit of a heads up; I'm keeping all of Sunday free to play RIO and motion controls (way too fun man). On that great Sunday agenda is this MPG implementation!!
When you have time to think about it, I'd love to hear about creative way(s) to implement this MPG into Rio in the most simplistic possible way (aka for noob!). At least some hints as to where to begin with this, and I'll figure out the rest (coughs lol).

ok, jogging, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
in general, everything can be configured as with mesa at the end via hal, the only problem is that this is overwritten when regenerating
To make simple assignments, there are the 'signal' -> 'net' options.
A strength of RIO is that even double assignments are recognised and if possible an AND/OR is built in between.
When it gets more complicated, for example when jogging (switching axes / speed / ..) the 'net' option no longer helps
but then there is the 'signal' -> 'function' option
there are a few predefined options
Examples 1:
2 Encoder
1. for Axis X / joint0
2. for Axis Y / joint1
Examples 2:
1 Encoder for all axis
joint/axis selection can be done in the AXIS gui
Mixing Example 1 and 2 is not possible
this is a list of some rio functions:
i think we need a documentation for this, there are other function but i have also need to check what i have done there
last but not least, there are also a few add-ons that can be configured via the setup-gui:
it doesn't seem like much now, but we can still expand it and with the automatic links it is already very powerful and can create hal's that nobody would have to create by hand
