    I currently have one actuator built and I am running some test. I am using Dimensions Engineering sabertooth and kangaroos to drive my motor.
    However the motion of my actuator is not smooth and when it is idling there is still movement.
    What can I do to make it smoother.

    It helps if you post pictures of all of your settings.

    Hi @noorbeast
    Sorry didn't know how much help that would've been and just overlooked it. I'm using DEscribe software with them and havent seen many others using it so was at a bit of a dead end. I'm very new to this forum and I think I may be too new to post photos? anyway I'm having a bit of trouble with parts and my 3D printer so until then it's going to be on hold.
    Thanks for your input I will revive this once I'm back up and running
