almost works ...

The 7i40 boards arrived today, hooked one up on my 5i20 card.
I copied the hm2-servo config and this works - I can move my motors at 
slower speeds without any problem.

But ... the config specifies LINEAR_UNITS = inch and INPUT_SCALE = 81920 
and with LINEAR_UNITS = mm and my 512 cpr encoder this results in 0.025 
mm/rev - which should be 2.5 mm/rev
So I changed INPUT_SCALE to 819.2, this makes the encoder work as 
expected: with the motor not powered I can turn the motor 20 revs which 
results in 50mm displacement on screen.

Somehow I can not get my motors working from this point on. Anything I 
do results in a "joint following" error. As soon as I power my motor the 
slightest push on the motor results in the error.
I have been reading the integrators manual and tried different 
combinations of OUTPUT_SCALE and MAX_OUTPUT but nothing seems to work.
Whatever I do, I keep getting joint follow errors.

I thought it was simpel: recude the INPUT_SCALE by a factor 100 and also 
increase OUTPUT_SCALE but this does not seem to work.
I know this is not much info but I am completely stuck right now.Any 
load on the motor will halt the system, I must be making one of those 
silly beginner errors (again ...) and I hope that one of 'you guys' has 
seen this before.

Regards,
