If your using HostMot2 with a stepper setup make sure you upgrade to 2.3.1 before copying a config. There has been some tweaking done to the stepper configs. If you get a joint following error check to make sure you have both the ini and hal copy of a 2.3.1 HostMot2 stepper conifg.

I have been getting a joint following error with 2.3.0. Are the ini and config files
the only changes? I also notice it is a little difficult resetting from this error. Clearing
the condition and restarting seems to cause an immediate speed change which causes
the fault again... I also see the joystick stop working until I quit EMC2 and restart.
The keyboard jogging still works fine when the joystick is dead.

The hm2 stepgen code and configs both changed from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1. The code change was to fix a bug that would sometimes make the stepper hunt (oscillate) when the commanded position fell between two adjacent physically-attainable positions of the stepper. The config change was to provide some acceleration headroom, letting the stepgen accelerate a bit more than the trajectory planner.
The config change was to fix a following-error problem exactly like what dfarrell described.
