another noob trying to tune the servo

Those changes are necessary but not sufficient...

Looks like you don't have the stepgen enabled

there is definitely something odd here, please look the attachment

Not really very odd, thats expected if the stepgen is not enabled

As allways you are completely right, the problem was that the 7i78 doenst have enable signals, so I had to use one of the 7i77 outputs:
net z-enable <= axis.2.amp-enable-out
net z-enable => hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.output-00

but forgot to:
net z-enable => hm2_5i25.0.stepgen.00.enable

Yeah stepgens need to be enabled just like analog outputs

Actually you can use 7I78 step/dir outputs as enables if a 5V signal will do
(just dont enable all the stepgens, and the unused stepgen pins will revert to GPIO pins)

Any ideas why the dro's doenst show 0 when homed? it only happens en x & Y where there are servos


They also hunt a little, 1 encoder count as it seems, but I read this may be normal right? Or it can be tuned to be completely steady?

Those are static position errors you should be able to remove them by adding some I term. You can often eliminate +-1 count dithering by adding a bit of deadzone.

Or choose to display commanded position instead
