Actually it may be that the HostMot2 tuning parameters are different for some
reason. Once the P/D/FF1 are tuned, I would think a much larger value of I
should be used, as 500 seemed to take more than a second to pull in a many
count error (I'm guessing the counts from the steps in the second half of the
trace). I would think that the I term should fix that large of an error in a
small fraction of a second. Also if the I term is too high relative to P you
will get oscillation (P is damping relative to I)
