I have just installed a jtec photonics laser on my machines and everything seems to be working well in some cases.. At first there was a delay with the M3 / M4 and M5 commands to start / stop the laser, I overcame that by using the M11p and M10p commands in the post processor. Now I am having an issue where mach 3 slows down at each point and I am getting over burn since it pauses ever so slightly at those points..
Setup:
Windows 10
Mach 3 R3.043.066
Ethernet SmoothStepper
Xylotex Controller with bob
ESS version ESS_Mach3_160630_u4f1b (when looking for the proper version ESS recommends MACH3 version R3.043.06
2 so I might install that version and try it)
I have the constant velocity turned on, and only the look ahead set to 200, as per a thread I found searching this issue.
Video of the issue

EDIT: I just looked at a picture I took last night of the config screen and it looks like the only other CV setting I currently have the "stop CV on angle set to 0 degrees"
