Hello Everyone
Having some problems setting up this new laser, Its running a MKS DLC32 Offline Controller 32bits ESP32 WIFI GRBL and was working perfectly on a 60 watt laser that I configured and sent out a few weeks back, move on and I’m just just finishing this large new C02 but using the exact same model of controller ( I bought 10 in a cracking deal) firmware etc but on a 160 watt tube and much larger machine like 2.5 times the size, this one is a behemoth, 2.3 metres long by 1.2 frame size. Unique positioning of the tube box etc…
The video will show the problem that is happening, it appears to be stuttering, on the other laser that went out there was no skip/pause at all when doing this, it just went seamlessly and smoothly not like this one at all in the video. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, missed a setting or what
Everything else seems to be working just fine apart from this issue. The other laser was perfect,
Further info below that hopefully will be able to help diagnose the issue please
Many thanks to everyone for any help.

Thanks again,
