Electronically-Controlled Rotation Table for iFOG Project

How to use software:
1) On computer desktop double-click the LinuxCNC desktop icon.
2) Use default script file or load and edit your own.
3) Toggle off "estop" (or press F1).
4) Toggle on drive controllers (or press F2).

Notes:
- In the script files, A2.5 corresponds to an angle of 2.5 degrees (with respect to currently designated "zero") and F2.5 corresponds to a rotation rate of 2.5 degrees per minute.
- A rotation rate of 1 degree per minute seems to have a mechanical resonance and produces excessive motor vibration.
