I'm super new to HAL would be kind to show me how to go about adding an extra PID? Any thing else than just the last block of code you posted? I'm imagining I should declare it as an object before and add its variables to INI, isn't it?

Somewhere near the top of the HAL will be "loadrt pid count = 3" (or something like that)
You can just double this number.
Then you need to addf the new pids to the servo-thread (look further down the HAL for lines to copy)
It is possible that your hal uses "loadrt pid names=pid.x,pid.y,pid.z" for named pids, (and you might prefer to change to that, if not) You could use pid.xi, pid.xo etc for inner and outer pid loops for each axis)
In this case you just addf the pids by name to the servo-thread, not by number.

Ok I get some errors, probably something stupid:
./cncmilltestclassicladder1.hal:147: Unknown command 'joint.0.motor-pos-cmd'
here is the hal and ini attempts:
./cncmilltestclassicladder1.hal:147: Unknown command 'joint.0.motor-pos-cmd'

ok, I have got it to net give errors, by commenting what seemed doubled and adding signal names. but now the servo won't move on jogs. would you check the setup?
thanks
thanks

#net pid.x.output => stepgen.x.velocity-cmd
Shouldn't be commented out, you need that, but also need to add a signal name
net x-output => stepgen.x.velocity-cmd
(as that is the signal name used above for the pid.x.output)

but isn't it what's connected in line 134?
net x-output => hm2_7i95.0.stepgen.00.velocity-cmd

Sorry, yes.
Maybe that line (referring to a software stepgen, now I look at it) should be deleted rather than commented.

alright I can do that but why is the servo not moving at all now? I think I probably messed up the hal config between the two PIDs no?

I tried now to clean up and follow your sketch here precisely. But servo still doesn't move. Any idea?
That's how I've connected it:

Im running in step/dir from a 7i95 mesa card, with the servo driver set in position mode.
Yes, but you have the stepgen running in vocity mode, so the PID needs to output a velocity.
Now, what you could do (and it would be an interesting experiment) would be to run the normal Mesa-style velocity PID to close the stepgen position loop, and then add an outer loop like I described with the linear scale as feedback.
Parport setup:[/code][/code]joint.N.motor-pos.cmd -> stepgen.N.position-cmd stepgen.N.pos-fb -> joint.N.motor-pos-fb Common Mesa config, using external velocity PID: [code]joint.N.motor-pos.cmd -> pid.N.command pid.N.output - > stepgen.N.velocity-cmd stepgen.N.position-fb -> pid.N.feedback -> joint.N.pos-fb Alternative with scales: [code]joint.N.motor-pos-cmd -> pid.M.command pid.M.output -> pid.N.command pid.N.output - > stepgen.N.velocity-cmd stepgen.N.position-fb -> pid.N.feedback scale.M.position -> pid.M.feedback -> joint.N.motor-pos-fb

Sorry to abandon you, I had a bit of a busy weekend.
The first thing that I notice is that I don't think that the pid.x_external PID component is being enabled.
Both PIDs can share the x-enable signal.

Does the linear scale have index marks? Those would be the best way to home, if they do. Otherwise you might want to remove the x-ex-index-enable net.
