I am not expecting a solution to the following but thought I would post it here as a matter of record …. Today I was running a lengthy surfacing operation. The operation finished fine and gSender seemed to be ready for it’s next command. I needed the gantry to go to the far left corner to free up t…

The delay does not affect operation (much). I have not run across anything that would suggest that the mill is dangerous.

@Jens I would tend to agree with @Spamming_Eddie . What if, after nothing is responding to the commands you send, you stick your hand or other body part anywhere inside the mill, it suddenly starts moving at high speed? That’s a potentially serious accident right there. If you have a spare, the …

Ok guys, I will file a ticket. I am using a gControl computer so swapping things out would be a bit difficult. This is already my second gControl ….

@Jens A question to confirm my ignorance, but the gControl connects with ethernet, yes? And, FWIW, I’m with the others. This is a dangerous situation and not one that I would accept.

@Jens OK, thanks. I imagine that you know this as it has come up many times here, but be sure that all power saving settings in windows related to USB are turned OFF. Things can get freaky when Windows is allowed to play with the power going to USB ports.

Thank you for mentioning the power settings but the issue is definitively not related. The gControl is configured as it was when shipped from Sienci with the exception that screen blanking has been enabled so I can leave the computer on 24/7 and not burn in the screen. It only affects blanking and …

@Jens I realize that I was stating what was likely obvious, but I went ahead anyway. :grinning_face: It’s scary stuff when a machine seems to have a life of its own. Stay safe, Jens.

@Jens Not that this is the cause of your problems but is there any reason you are not connected with Ethernet? Eth has better error detection than USB. And since your gControl is likely near you SLB, all you need is a cat5/6 cable between the two.

Ironically, I have an ethernet cable hanging right there …. I suppose I could plug it in ….

Weird stuff happening - delays
