I am still looking into this, I did make a small change to the encoder driver to simplify
the index spacing detection. (I added the option to not zero the position on index detection)
This should simplify the distance coded index detection hal component, otherwise I would
have needed to undo the encoder position zeroing in the hal component, and that was pretty ugly.

I would try setting the following errors wider so you can see the actual behavior without getting an instant following error
(say 25 and 25 mm)
Then first set the PID up with all terms 0 except a small amount of P
Then check if the motors roughly hold position and move when jogged

Experimental XML config generator
Category: EtherCAT
Thanks for the help everyone. I decided to move my project to a Raspberry Pi 4, so I made sure to use the latest versions of LinuxCNC and Ethercat. I think I have the experimental XML config working now. I am a little unsure what to do with the output file.
I'll paste two files below. The first file is the ethercat-conf.xml from my CNC project when I had a single axis using an Rtelligent ECT 60 stepper motor.The single axis worked, so I have since bought two Rtelligent RS750E AC Servo drives. All I have done with the RS750E drives is power them up and connect the Ethernet. I haven't done any onboard parameter programming yet.
The experimental XML config generator recognized all three drives in order.
Is the output from the experimental XML config generator meant to be used to create the ethercat-conf.xml file?
