Awesome Info. I will try it tonight! Im currently using the default 1khz servo thread.

My computer tops out on the latency test at about 20000ns. From what I read this is find for a mesa interface setup.

When I started with a low P = 50 value, there was not even enough command to make the motor shaft turn. At 500 I think was the point it started to turn.

As for the current tuning, this was just to get a locked servo that could be used for testing. It has a ring at the start and end of a move but is decently stable. I can rapid the machine currently at 254IPM and stay withing the following error, but the servos should have the ability to run the machine up to 300IPM. that my goal.

What I did was set the P gain until I could not fight the servo any more, but also didn't have excessive oscillations. 6000 was stronger but I could not stop the oscillations without a load on the servo.


If you are currently tuning bare motors, then you might as well stop until they are fitted to the machine. The tuning will be completely different under load. (you will probably end up with even more P-gain)

Tonight I did some testing while talking to PCW on IRC. He suggested there might be a wiring issue, but I seem to have found something strange.

PCW suggested set all gains to 0 and set P to 10. He said also set both errors to 2.

While watching axis.1.f-error and the analogout1, the max output at a 1" error is 0.005V... 5mV!! For every digit I add to the gain, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, the output increases by the same. 0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 5.0. Using this, I found that P = 20000 creates a 10V output. However, this also makes the loop super sensitive. Something like 0.0006" error will create a 10V output.

I tried adjusting all the scale and min/max outputs but nothing would change the output.

Here are the settings the tests were performed at.
FERROR = 2.0
MIN_FERROR = 2.0
MAX_VELOCITY = 5.0
MAX_ACCELERATION = 10.0
P = 10
I = 0
D = 0
FF0 = 0.0
FF1 = 0
FF2 = 0
BIAS = 0.0
DEADBAND = 0.0
MAX_OUTPUT = 10.0
ENCODER_SCALE = 40000.0
OUTPUT_SCALE = -10.0
OUTPUT_MIN_LIMIT = -10.0
OUTPUT_MAX_LIMIT = 10.0

Is pid.N.error identically equal to the f-error? They should be the same number.

Hello PCW,

Hello Andy,

Yes, They match exactly.

Can you please attach the files to the forum and not link to a commercial service that requires a login?

Aha, that's a PnCConf bug i thought it had been fixed.

setp pid.x.maxerror .0005
setp pid.y.maxerror .0005
setp pid.z.maxerror .0005

Delete those lines, or make the value 0.

Well that definitely made a difference.

Now an f-error of 1 will yelid a 10v output.

P=10
Everything else 0.
F-error = 0.9995
Analogout1 = 9.995

Now I should be able to follow the tuning procedure mentioned before?
