    Chilipeppr Offline use would be huge. My internet provider isn’t the most reliable..

    I tried to run the ShapeOko Calibration file that you provided the link for. The gantry did a rapid move diagonally from home, stopped, and the spDir led started flashing. I was using Json 1.88 as you suggested.
    After resetting, I got the same result again. I didn’t have enough time to run another file to check the buffer status. I will try and get to that tomorrow.

    I hope to be doing an axis rewire and replacement of the limit micro switches with Hall Effect switches late in the week when the materials show up. It may not be related to the issue but I think shielded cable can’t hurt and the wire gauge is heavier so currently delivery will improve.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Latest version of Win 10 home version 1511, OS build 10586.218, Intel Core i7-6500U cpu @ 2.50 Ghz, 12GB ram, 64-biy operating system running on x64 based processor. There should be plenty of firepower but it isn’t a dedicated machine…

    Serial Port Json Server 1.92_windows_amd64

    TinyG V8 running tinyg-master-440.20 firmware (reloaded again today just to be sure)

    I have a couple laptops and tried another one today to see if it made any difference. It was a Lenovo running Win 10 as well.. No difference.

    The spindle isn’t a contributing factor. I had the same issue before the spindle was mounted (just the empty mount attached).

    I dropped the Jerk to 500 and it did reduce the aggressiveness as expected put the stuttering persisted. The milling speed didn’t affect it either. Very perplexing..

    BTW, I was set up with the $_pm=2 on all axis.. I tried $_pm=3 as well with no change.. Back to $_pm=2

    I am suspecting it has to do with the y-axis (and uneducated guess) so I removed the belts from the y-axis steppers to see if it was a friction or drive issue.. No change…

    I see several of the same setup Big Ox machines running smoothly. I am going to try and contact the people with the similar machines to see if they can share their config file..

    The Chilipeppr logo cut just fine. It’s a much smaller file.. I will try another test file tomorrow. I will change pm as well.

    The cut pattern for the file I ran looked fine. The stuttering actually shakes the table that I have the CNC mounted to, but the CNC is very solid and seems to be holding to the cut pattern quite well. It’s just a bit disturbing to watch it stutter so much…

    I am going to reapply the firmware upgrade again, just in case there is an issue with that. Apparently there is an issue with processor lockbits being set that isn’t that won’t allow verification… so I am not certain that the firmware isn’t corrupted.

    Thanks for the assistance!

    I have tried each of the jog settings on the menu.

    I decided to try running a cut file beyond the “chilipeppr” sample file. I found an SVG of a Fender Telecaster Body. I simplified the file to use only the outline. Inkscape svg loaded into JSCUT, G Code to Chilipeppr to TinyG. Lenovo Laptop running Win 10, Chrome Browser. Here is a video showing the stuttering which becomes very pronounced when cutting curves:
