I have a Smoothieware board on a 50W CO2 laser. Lately I have been losing steps on the y axis. It seems to happen after fill operations and switched to line operation where it is outlining the engraving. I have been engraving at 100 mm/s and outlining at 12 mm/s. When the machine moves from outlining section to outlining section the travel speed is very fast, so much so it shakes the machine and I suspect the belts are jumping. I have reduced the speed in “Fast Whitescan Speed” and reduced the speed in the “Move” tab on the console. Neither option seems to change the travel speeds between outlines. Is there somewhere else I need to look? Maybe in the configuration file for the board?
