    This just started today and I’ve had the tinyg for a couple years. I was trouble getting a gcode file to run. It would upload to chili peppr, I could see the simulation but pressing run would do nothing. I was hosting the serial port json on a rasp pi so I decided to try running it on my laptop. Now, when I use the jog commands,say move x+1mm it will move that 1mm and then move back and then if I say move x+1mm it will move x-1mm. My poor machine looks fucking drunk. Chilipeppr had been more trouble then it has ever helped. Is there any other environment I can test code so I can tell if it’s just chilipeppr

    Chilipeppr adds a lot of user control to the basic tinyG interface, much of which depends on a well running tinyG.
    Cnc.js provides a similar user environment, but may not help since something seems flaky with your base machine.

    I’d suggest you head to the tinyG wiki and then

    then the Coolterm option. Experiment with just sending Gcode a line at a time from the command console directly connected via USB.

    Do you have limit switches on your setup?
    If not, are limit inputs properly disabled?

    The behavior you describe suggest tinyG is resetting as a result of movements. Noise on limit switch lines is a possible cause.
    A dump of parameters may help this discussion.
    Run $$ in Coolterm, copy the results to a text file, post it to a Cloud drive and provide a URL for a review.
