    cmcgrath5035: I tried your code, ran perfectly fine for me. (with Coolterm)

    I upgraded my machine with 1GB RAM, and it made no noticable impact on the UI lag.

    I got to play a little with the new tgFX version.

    Did not go so well 🙁

    Here’s a video of me just trying it out, pushing some buttons and really showing the UI lag. This is a Pentium 4 machine with Windows XP SP3, 512MB RAM.
    Very unresponsive overall.

    I should mention that the board works. It just skipped the usual light blinking boot sequence I’ve come to expect.

    I flashed it with AVR Studio 6.1, and now it seems to skip the bootloader. Must be something that has changed, since I’m not seeing the light blinking after reset, it just starts instantly.

    I’m really excited about this new build.

    I will definitely try to help with the wiki in any way I can. Can’t really use my machine reliably at the moment, so I have some time between designs and tweaks for testing out tgFX, and then I might as well take som notes and screenshots 😉

    Alright. I updated the files with lines, ran them through Coolterm while logging the output. Last one I made the status replies verbose.

    I stopped each file after several malfunctions, but I can’t pinpoint the exact line number they happen on, the log scrolls past so fast.

    I updated to 380.08 from Master branch yesterday. Same results as before the upgrade.
    Although, I found it weird that boot time of TinyG is instant, when before it was blinking a bit before being ready.

    I’m using Coolterm 1.4.2 with XON/XOFF turned on (also turned on in TinyG).
    tgFX can’t be run on my machines at the moment because of extreme UI lag.

    I’ll see about making lines numbered right away.

    Hi, thanks for trying to look into it for me.

    Here’s a few files that I just testet, and got jumps and ‘ka-thunk’ sounds from the stepper motors from right away.

    User WillAdams on ShapeOko forums suggested it had something to do with line length in my G-code files.

    What is the maximum line length for TinyG?

    Big reveal!

    I’m stumped. I’m mystified. I’m so freakin’ happy right now.

    I updated to the latest firmware (master, 380.08), but it did not help me at all. I tried the debug build of the dev branch, but that just created a jittery mess, and was going way too slow.

    I then started looking at different TinyG settings, like Path Control Mode and minimum line length. First of all, $mi returned garbled value, so I set it back to 0.08 as it should be.
    Nothing seemed to help, and the steps dropped at the same point in the g-code file no matter how slow I was going.

    And here’s the kicker – I tried the ShapeOko_Calibration_Pattern_01b from ShapeOko forums, and it ran perfectly at 500mm/min.
    I kicked it up to 1500, still perfect. 3000 – perfect. 5000! – perfect!
    WHAT!?

    I made a cut 1mm deep in a piece of plywood at 3000mm/min feed speed, and here’s the result:

    What is going on?!

    Would it be extreme to try flashing it with the dev branch considering that I can’t use my machine in it’s current state?

    Is it important to clear the EEPROM after flashing it?

    I flashed it with the edge build (firmware/tinyg/default/tinyg.hex), but it reported version as 380.05 still.

    Anyway, tested a g-code file I had problems with before, and I got the same problem still. I made a video where you can hear the missed steps at each endpoint of the “star” shape it’s drawing.

    Wow, I can’t believe I didn’t catch that. I have 380.05 now, and am definitely going to try the edge version if this is a known error and has been fixed.

    Alden: I tried setting it to 50.000, down from 200.000. Didn’t change the behavior though.
