This is the problem I am having, any ideas?

Its not going directly to its position, it seems to get there but has to go back and forth a few times to get there.

It looks to me like the mechanical connection between the motor and the encoder is poor. Can you please verify that there is a very solid connection?
If this doesn’t solve it, you can also check the electrical connection of the motor to the ODrive.

Let me know if that helps.
Cheers.

Thanks for the help! I tried a different encoder and it seems to be working correctly. I think it could be the connection between the motor and encoder or an issue with the encoder. Right now with the other encoder (AMT10) I am just holding it in place by hand but even with this working nearly 100%.

Thanks for the awesome support.
