CTI Servo Actuator Travel-Tip-Delay

I've used this macro code to try and slow down my servo movement - but it is still a bit jumpy with probeSpeed 1

while global.probeAngle > global.probeOut G4 P{global.probeSpeed} M280 P5 S{global.probeAngle} set global.probeAngle = global.probeAngle - 0.1

See this video for a demo of the slow movement

The biggest problem I always have with servos is that at powerOn they sometimes jump quite quickly to their home position if not already there, or jump to a random position if I disable them when not needed.

I'm planning on moving all of my Servo's over to stepper motors - some of which might need to be geared - mainly to avoid the fast moves issue, and also to give better control over the speed.
