Re: Proximity Sensor pnp or npn
The limit switch outputs connect directly the AVR microprocessor outputs. You can use any type of proximity sensor that you want as long as it never connects the output from the BB Controller to more than 3.3 Volts or less than 0 Volts.

Re: Thoughts after a few months tinkering with BB and observing other controllers
I'm not sure I know what you are asking, but it sounds like you are asking how to configure the motors. That is done on the motor configuration pages. You can find an explanation of the motor configuration pages in the manual. Here is a link to the section: https://buildbotics.com/manual/#motor-page...

Re: Thoughts after a few months tinkering with BB and observing other controllers
We see implementing programmable buttons as a separate task from enhancing the capabilities of the game pad. We have a github issue open for enhancing the game pad. You can track it at https://github.com/buildbotics/bbctrl-firmware/issues/83 . It is considered important, but we do not have this task...

Re: Vectric Post Processor
I don't know. As a Vectric customer, it would be great if you contacted their tech support to find out when they will add it to their software. Feel free to give them our github link where we have the vectric post processors that we created. https://github.com/buildbotics/bbctrl-posts/tree/master/ve...

Re: Legacy CNC Router with Accelus controllers and servo motors
The Buildbotics Controller cannot interface with servo motors. Unless you are interested in swapping out your servos for bipolar steppers, the BBC Controller will not work for you.
