 It seems the noise has increased since yesterday.  We don't have values from before, but right now, seeing ~80mV of noise overlayed over the tunneling current signal.
+After some time, the control loop settled down quite a bit, assumingly because process disturbances decreased for some unknown reason:

 Managed to increase the setpoint current to 456pA:

-Finally tried putting the lid onto the STM for noise shielding, but I think I crashed the tip way too hard during the process as everything is more unstable now.
+Finally tried putting the lid onto the STM for noise shielding, but I think I crashed the tip way too hard during the process as I couldn't achieve stable tunneling again afterwards...
 Should create a new tip next time and then retry more gently.  Also X/Y control is probably a good next step.
