Oh cute, no relation to bow legged either. :(

Hummm, Okaaayyy, but what does it use if TRAJ_PERIOD is not specified?  It 
is not in my current .ini file.  Somewhat stepgenconf generated.  Heavily 
diddled since.

Second, I just toured the show hal config screens and found no signals or 
pins/params that correspond to the FF0-FF1 and FF2 settings that stepgen 
had about 3 or 4 major revisions (2.1/2.2) ago.  The .2.f-error in 
particular, seems to be a direct function of the speed it is moving at, 
with no apparent attempt to correct it, regardless of running distance, 
back to a real 0.0 reading.  The error isn't large, 150 u-volts max during 
a G0 retrace move.

I can recall when the AXIS sections for the steppers had FF0-FF1 and FF2 
settings in the .ini file but that was years ago...

So how do we do those corrections now?
