I would use the "QEI Index" pin and add this to the resolver driver board. That way all the MGR feedback information could run through this adapter.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

That sounds good. We will need to figure out the best arrangement for the A/D conversions. Current1, current2, sin (), cos (), throttle, temp1, temp2. we could always do currents and angles simultaneously, and maybe every 32 times we do current1, throttle, temp1, temp2.
