I've got a TinyG v8, firmware 0.95, build 380.02 with latest tgFX binaries. (master build?)
Today I noticed erratic behavior while routing some HDPE.
The spindle made a tiny arc instead of a big one and traversed to the arc end point through the material.
I can reproduce it almost every time, although in the beginning it was a bit erratic. This happens even though I have inhibited all my axis.
I've checked my stepper motor shielded cable and grounding, and it seems to be fine.
I've read a few posts about similar problems on this forum, and I've tried to mess with the serial connection, heat sinks, ferrite beads and so on.
Could anyone try my G-code and see if they get the same problem?
No change. After running for a couple of minutes, it buried itself into the material with a sudden traverse. Seems like it just skipped a bunch of G-code steps.
Tried a new fresh computer, fresh install of tgFX, newest FTDI drivers with the XON-XOFF bugfix, and it's even worse.
Just wanted to let you know that I've been running fine for a while with Coolterm, but I can't try it out in tgFX until it recognizes the new firmware version.
