Re: [FTC]: Servo has parkinsons???

We've had the same problem, might be an issue with the mechanism its attached to causing constructive harmonic interference (in other words, the servo corrects its position at the same frequency the mechanism sways/bounces/oscillates). If this is the case, mechanical dampers (such as a plate in contact with the mechanism to slow it down due to friction) might help.
