Servo Wiring and Tuning detailed How To example Mesa 7i77.

Thanks Todd,

I will check that out when I get back to the garage. It is completely possible that I mis-remember the fact that the DRO was reading with manual rotation.

Tommy,
I just got a chance to take a look at this. So you were correct it is not counting on the DRO when moved by hand... I can go into Hal config and look at the encoder count under: pins/hm2_7i76e/0/encoder

That shows the the encoder counting.

So what's the Disconnect here and how do I resolve?

Just to add my experience about tuning with regards to acceleration values!

On my retrofit, I had a lot of trouble tuning following all the advice I had found because I had entered an arbitrary value for the acceleration parameter (way too high). It wasn't until I bumped it down to something more in line with what I had seen in others config files, that I could even start to tune my servos. My machine works fine now, but doesn't move as fast as it did before the retrofit, so I could go back and refine the tuning with higher accel params.

So, yes - in my experience, acceleration values will affect the tune!

@Type 0
You are better of by doing a new config than chasing gremlins at this stage.
You can post the config files here, you might have already but am on the phone so not much use for now from me.
I'll have a look when i get my hands on one of my laptops.
Regards,
Tom.

@Huey
Thank you, i missed answering that.

So Tommy, is there something I need to do different in setting up the config this go round to make sure that happens? is there some option I need to enable in PNCConfig?
