Yeah, ALL the changes need to be made:
1. P = 1000
2. MAX_ERROR = 0
3. Fix thread order
4. Set reasonable FERROR and MIN_FERROR
limits say 0.1 and 0.01
and FF1 MUST be 1

current ini file a axis params
current hal file servo thread
just made a run with the above settings. i guess i inadvertently set ff1 = 0 at some point last night. that was causing the machine to error off. now the machine runs and the decell looks like its working right. but we're still getting a twisted part.

OK so you now know the stepgen is following the commanded position within .1 degree
( its probably doing much better ) So now we know the issue is elsewhere
Guesses:
scaling wrong
Interface step polarity wrong so a step is lost every reversal because the direction
hold time is violated
Step noise pickup
Mechanical problems

ok turns out i'm an idiot. when I wired the step and direction signals I botched the direction signal. didn't catch it because we only spin the axis in one direction. turns out it would only spin in one direction. fixed that issues and all is running correctly now. though you MUST have the .ini setup as previously discussed on this page. tormachs default PID settings lead to decell issues with the clear path servos.
many thanks to yall for helping me sort this out.

Thanks for telling us what the problem was. Too often folk either say nowt or come back with a "fixed now". We can all now (you included) have this possibility in mind next time we see something like this here.

oh one other thing, you can not flip the axis direction using the clear path settings as that will also cause an interpolation error.

yup. comes from my coding days. I always try to post the solution so that someone else can hopefully find a use for it later.

I would like to do this upgrade as well. Do you mind posting the Clear Path motor part#?
