Info from Steffen Rau on why adding support for the E-816 to motorPIGCS2 doesn't make much sense:

“Compared to current GCS2 devices from PI, E-816 has limited functionality. The basic commands (e.g. to position a stage and read the sensors) are the same. But E-816 is an interface module and not a digital controller, therefor many other features are not available for the E-816 (e.g. acceleration, velocity, travel range, homing/referencing). So it cannot really be “integrated” into the PI GCS2 code but will need its separate class and most of the implementations will simply be empty.”
