Subject: How to support a new stepper motor controller?

Dear motion specialists,

I am writing on behalf of Paramveer Jain (in CC) who has contacted me with this issue, but as I have never done motion control integration with EPICS, I'd rather throw this ball up than send him into the wrong direction.

He is being tasked with developing EPICS support for a locally developed motor controller.

The hardware setup can be summarized as:
The controller software talks ASCII in command/response fashion, e.g.:
What's the best/easiest way to do this? What are the caveats?
Is there a tutorial he could follow?
Is there existing support for another motor that he could start from?

Thanks a lot for your help!
~Ralph
