oK I see The reason, you want to use a laptop.

LPT is the parallel port version it does NOT use an outside motion controller board. It runs straight off the PC.

Jack it is possible that the SS does not support the M10/11 convention. But as to non delayed action you have 3 choices to test.

M10/11
EPO/EP1
Use the Dir output from a phantom axis.

USe of CB code ? You are already doing that with an M8 call and there IS a delay.

FOr such a simple machine WHY did you choose the SS over the LPT version? Just curious

IS the OLD pc the one you always had problems with ? (;-) So how did you know the card did not cause problems ??

ANYTHING that can interupt mach3 such as a network card COULD cause a problem at times. SOme PCs don't have a problem Some do, Why push your luck? This is a dedicated CNC PC for a machine correct?

The PCI wireless network card may cause you trouble in the long run.

Set your Kernal speed to no more than you need based on your axis tuning.

Look for a clean test as far as noise and other operations causing blips.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

IF you are just Dry running the code for checking the code the display will show all the offsets BUT will only repeat the first section. It is a glitch in Mach3's toolpath code.

It should cut as programmed.
