Hi all.
I have been using Mach3 for about 2 years on an avid pro4896 with no issues.
I purchased Mach4 to eventually transition and also because I understand laser functionality is better.
However, my issue is this. I installed Mach4 on my computer (meets minimum specs) and instantly discovered that when jogging, all axis's jump, skip, stall. It doesnt seem to matter what i set the velocity and acceleration to, it always happens.
It is particularly bad when the x and y are jogged simultaneously.
I will add, both Mach 3 and 4 are on the same computer. I can still use mach3 without issue. No ethernet or internet conflicts either.
Any help/guidance would be really appreciated.

We need a bit more detail about the motion controller you are using with Mach3 and 4

ARE you using Avid's custom version of Mach4?
