hi, I am during the assembly phase where I am supposed to be able to download the pcode to the handy board.

(...) I would suggest shutting it down early (say 5 ticks early) and using a "jog" mode whereby brief pulses are sent to the motor to move it the remaining distance. Lets say you shut it off at 19 (targeting 24) and the motor/load's momentum carries (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

No, your conclusion is too broad, simply stated if you don't monitor motor current (and to some extent model the inertia of the motor) in software, then your damping algorithm (which is effectively a constant based on your description) won't (...)

I guess I'll stick to my kludge... it's easier. ;) So in order to do effective rotation sensors I need to monitor not only the rotations, but the power applied to the motor as well?

You step into the morass that separates reality from theory :-) The "right" way to do this is to measure the current on the servos, ramp their accelleration up and then down again as you approach your final endpoint.
