Hello! I have spent some time with the machine and have tried some of the suggestions.

Reducing servo period down to 250 us did not provide any additional improvement. > > What happens if you disconnect the PID (and the motors from the > machine!) and setp bldc.0.value 0.95 ? > I did the following: # net motor.00.command pid.0.output => bldc.0.value setp bldc.0.value 0.95 Result: nothing. Motor does not move. If I change back: net motor.00.command pid.0.output => bldc.0.value # setp bldc.0.value 0.95 Then I can jog motor. I tried 3 times switching back and forth - with PID disconected and BLDC value set to 0,95 motor does not move. 2012/1/27 Peter C. Wallace <p...@mesanet.com>: > > So if you set the PID comps MAX_OUTPUT to 158 (and PWM scale is 166.67) that > will limit maximum PWM to the desired 95% > I reduced those values and also set max output to be less than 95% of output scale: OUTPUT_SCALE = 125 OUTPUT_OFFSET = 0.0 MAX_OUTPUT = 118 It did not provide any additional improvement. So this far only reducing servo period did help. Unfortunately that is coming with RTAI error warning messages. I ran latency test for a while and got 12000 ns max jitter on servo thread.
