And for those following along at home, I got the machine set up in velocity mode and the pid tuned fairly well. The following error is less than .0002 and the machine runs very nicely, and I can now Home to the index pulse on the encoder (which is where this all began)! Yay.
Below are links to my .ini and .hal and plots of the f-error for each axis in case it helps someone in the future.
