Great, thanks for posting that!

A couple of comments on that config:

It looks like it was based off an older, somewhat buggy hm2-servo 
config.  Specifically, the [AXIS_*]OUTPUT_SCALE is not used by the 
hm2-servo.hal file.

The [AXIS_X]MAX_VELOCITY is used in the hal file as pid.X.maxoutput, 
which i think is wrong.  Oops, i just noticed that the standard 
hm2-servo config does the same, i'll check in a fix for that.

The [AXIS_*]INPUT_SCALE values look strange.  Is that really what the 
encoders are producing?

The [AXIS_*]FERROR and MIN_FERROR look very large to me.  Is it really 
acceptable for the machine to be a quarter inch off while feeding?

In hm2-servo.hal, the hostmot2 driver is loaded with all debugging flags 
turned on, that's probably not needed.  Oops, i just noticed that the 
standard hm2-servo config does the same, i'll check in a fix for that 
too.  ;-)

Wow, this machine has a GlueGun?  :-)

Yes, i think trying it without the joystick would be a good experiment 
to do.
