I got what port it was hooked up to, I was just trying to figure out what phase b was, as the GTS does not have one, I will just modify the code so that instead of looking at phase b it will look at the PWM > or < 127 to determine the correct operand. I just need to determine the distance travailed on the linear drive.
Thank you for the diagram it was really useful. (BTW I like your code, it is clean and well organized)
