I am setting up my 3 axis milling machine for the first time. I am starting with the X axis but every time I try to move it I get the Joint 0 following error. I have adjusted FERROR, but that did nothing. Any help would. Be appreciated.
I have attached my .hal and .inI files.

This is expected

A couple of things need to be done

1. Make sure your drives can be enabled and disabled by LinuxCNC (this is a safety issue)
2. Make sure the encoders count in the right directions, and are scaled properly
3. Set the ferror limits to about 0.5 inches (this includes MIN_FERROR)
4. Remove all the "setp pid.N.maxerror .0005 ) statements from the hal file (this is a PNCConf bug)
5. You now have a 50 % chance of getting a runaway, if you do, you need to change the sign of OUTPUT_SCALE in the ini file
Note: if the drive enables are setup properly a runaway will cause the drives to be disabled as soon as you exceed the 0.5"
following error setting.
6. Once you have approximate control, proceed to tuning

1. Check
2. The 7i77 does not appear to be receiving any encoder signals. My wiring should be correct, I need to figure out why they are not communicating to the 7i77.
