CGTalk - Finger IK rigg

Hello, I'm trying to rigg the fingers of my character's hand in a more intuitive way rather than having all the attributes in the channel box. I saw how setup machine rigged the fingers with IK so all you have to do to curl or move a finger is move the controller around. Any one know how to manually do this? I have tried both RPIK and SCIK, but the joints never seem to bend the right way and keep flipping.

Oh, and I'm using May 8.5

Thank you in advance for your help :)

Two things I would do -
Curl the fingers before applying IK, then use the Skeleton -> Set Preferred Angle command.
After you apply IK, create a pole vector object and constraint for each finger.

Hope this helps!
