What is the ratio of the gearbox? I think I would expect much smaller gains for a rotary than for a linear with the same servo. Simplistically, one full revolution out-of-position for the linear axis might be 2mm, but one full motor-rev out-of-position for the rotary is 36 degrees with a 10:1 gearbox. That is about a 20x difference, and I would anticipate a 20:1 ratio in PID gains to match. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
