I found the filtering option under the smooth stepper options. Not sure what value is supposed to be there when not "0"??

Thanks

Attached are the gcode files that I open in Mach3. The outline file has done this more than once and it has happened at random on the others.

The display in Mach3 looks like the job is going normal. In Mach3 nothing looks wrong but when you look at the work it is going the wrong way.

Another question -
Why would the flashing reset button trigger in the middle of a job?

I am using smoothstepper with Mach3.
When things work it is working PERFECTLY!!!!
 But when it messes up it messes up big. The people that make and support smoothstepper are convinced it is not smoothstepper.

As a job is cutting for no reason and with no warning - It just reverses the signal going to the motors somehow. All the sudden it will just complete cut out a mirror opposite of the path it is cutting.

Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks
