This is the ini file, just trying to keep all in the same spot for reference.
many thanks!!
Edit: The duel loop, is the 2nd loop designed to limit the overshoot that is in question?
Depending on how important the "pid.n.error" is, other than the referenced (06 pic, in earlier thread) all other "pid.n.error" required "lower gain" to see on scope trace, so best yet I think.

Many thanks for all the great help!!
The following is the "x axes, the lighter one" hal trace, the 01 to 04 are FF2 in small increments. The inserted 05 has "P" to 3450, it that this to get "pis.n.error" down. There is enough stiffness at "P=2500", just fyi.
The one thing that seemed to me is that the "FF2" needs to be in the 1.0 range.
This is about as good as I know what to look for.
The ini file has .68 max-velocity & 17 max-acceleration. Jog at 60"/min, not shore this is correct, seems slow. Will try to post "y axes" next.
Many thanks!

Just my experience, and that of course may vary, but FF2 has to be at least 10 to 100 times smaller than FF1, in most cases 0 is perfectly acceptable.
I am adding some more info to servo tuning thread that might help.

Can you please do a test with the following:
FF1 set at 1
FF2 set at 0
on the hal scope only, "joint.N.motor-pos-cmd" and "joint.N.f-error"
FF1 set at 1
FF2 set at 0
on the hal scope only, "joint.N.motor-pos-cmd" and "joint.N.f-error"

I am following this thread from the begining, and i am alsmost certain something is not right in your setup, as has been mentioned by other members several times, becouse some parameters do not have any infuence on the system or the resulting hal scope. P value of over 3000 is something i have never seen, but it is posible. FF1 can be a lot of values, but as far as i remember 1 should be the maximum for a normal servo system. And there is the FF2...........it has to be in very low values or 0. On a tuned system changing FF2 value by a smal, like realy smal amount will mess up the tuning and triger an joint following error.
It is beyond me how can you still move the motors with an FF2 value of 3.7 ???????

Can you put only those 2 parameters on the halscope?
on the hal scope only, "joint.N.motor-pos-cmd" and "joint.N.f-error"

thank you tommylight!!!
Attached are some screenshots as you requested. Could not find "joint.N.motor-pos-cmd", found only 2 with pos-cmd (the end), the one used was the only one to trigger using "normal" setting, hope this is ok.
The file names tell the settings, take note P=2450 (all others P=3450) on last pic.
Many thanks!!

I thought we determined FF1 should be around 25.
At this point I thing setting I to 0 until you get a better handle on whats going on would be a good idea (I is usually the last thing to tune).
What happens if you increase D (try 30, 40, 50, 60) and show us the results?
