Stops sending gcode in the middle of program.

[MCuserme]

I have an issue that it stops sending gcode to a controller after a random time, mostly on bigger gcode files.
I noticed when in that state I press pause and than resume again it sends one line of code.

It is very frustrating because it destroys a workpeace since it does not remember the last coordinates.

I really like this software because it is only one that runs ok on my weak laptop, so if somone can help I would be very grateful.

Hello,

What software and what post-processor are you using to generate the gcode?

[MCuserme]

I use Aspire and LaserWeb, both of them have the same issue.
It does not stop on the same file always at the same spot...

PS. In aspire I use post processor for grbl.

Ok. Your problem has not to do with the software.

I don't know your machine setup but the most common issue is an electromagnetic interference between your controller and some other device.

Examples of devices that creates high electromagnetic forces:
Fluorescent lamps
Vacuum cleaners and other motors
Cheap Chinese quite cut spindles
etc..

PS. What machine do you have ?

Thanks for your help
I dont think that interference is the problem because when I use UGS(universal gcode sender) I dont have any problems.

Now you might ask why do I bother with this software if ugs works.
I have a weak laptop and when I laser engrave a picture there is one line of gcode per pixel and the ugs cannot send these lines fast enough. Source rabbit on the other hand can send lines of gcode fast enough, UI is more pleasing and it has more features.

I built my own CNC machine.

Can you share a gcode file ?

laser_engrave.zip
I had to put it in the zip. since github wont let me upload .gcode.

How much bytes out / second do you have when you send the GCode to your machine?

I had noticed something similar today. I have just started using Rabbit.

On OSX it feels like it stops or slows down sending g-code after a while when I switch to other apps (a video for example). As soon as I switch back, it sends data again.

@MCuserme Download the latest version of our Software and upgrade your GRBL to the latest version (version 1.1h). We did a lot of optimization since the last time and I believe you will run your GCode without any problems
