It could be that I am an imbecile. However when I used MesaCT as installed per the instructions here using apt gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/mesact/install.html#install-with-apt. I did not get an anywhere near working configuration out of the tool. The stepper configurations were very incomplete. The feedback loop was not closed in fact the PID output was not even sent to the mesa stepper driver.
I will post up my configuration files from the output shortly.
