    I attempted a full job with tgFX today – it stopped halfway through. Seemed like a similar stopping point I waas seeing using coolterm. Has anyone been able to run a job that contains more than 500 lines of gcode?

    Ah – for settings, maybe you were running into this issue:

    “CAVEAT: At the current time because of various limitations of the Xmega errata we recommend pausing transmission for at least 30 milliseconds after each line containing a $ command. This gives the system enough time to persist the data to EEPROM, during which time the system cannot receive new serial input. We are working on a workaround to this issue.”

    From this page: https://www.synthetos.com/wiki/index.php?title=TinyG:Configuring

    I did some more tests – tgFX is definitely working. Still cannot get coolterm to work.

    roberlin – thanks for the tip. It seems to help a bit, but not quite 100%. Isn’t this what XON/XOFF is supposed to take care of anyways?

    It looks like things are working using tgFX alpha, but not from coolterm

    another symptom – even when reducing my gcode to less than 250 lines, I am unable to do feedholds. However, I am able to do feedholds when running the self tests. Maybe there is some gcode I am sending that is causing these issues? I am generating gcode using both inventorcam and aspire from vectric.

    I tried via windows as well – got coolterm running, but it has the same issue – I can only send around 250 lines of gcode before it hangs.

    Coolterm 1.4.1, MacOS. XON is enabled. I uploaded a zip with screenshots of my config and the gcode I am working with:

    The gcode file is cutting the teeth of a small watch movement gear.

    Thank you for looking into this!

    after a bit of experimentation I found the limit where coolterm stops sending gcode is around 250 lines. Is there something I am doing wrong in the coolterm config?
