Twotrees TS2 Not getting anywhere near full speed?

[DCUK (Dan)]

Hi.

For the first time ive tried engraving at a higher speed.
Twotrees advertise the TS2 can go up to 10,000mm/min however im finding anything above 4,000 and it doesnt get any quicker and speed varies on the same line.

Ive checked in the device settings after a read and the max x and y are set to 10,000.

Tried a different cable.

Im wondering if its power supply issues, it slows on darker detailed bits from what i can work out.

Any ideas of what to check?

Thanks!!!

Is this doing images or normal vectors?

After a bit more searching it seems to be because of using greyscale.

Grayscale speed

I set the baud to 921,600 to see if the bottleneck is in the serial communications, but no luck there. I set it in the config.h file as well as in LightBurn. I do have to use grayscale. Dither, especially in the highlights, looks like newsprint. There will be a strange array of dots in the middle of a white space even with the best stochastic algorithm. My favorite is Epilog’s implementation of Stucki, but Jarvis also makes nice tones that don’t scream bitmap. That’s o.k. when you are burning t…

Think i worked out im trying to sent min 1250 instructions at 6000mm/min when this post suggests 800-1000 is the max a 32bit board can do.

Yes, Grayscale gcode is extreamly dense.
Most controllers bog down. not much that can be done really.

Could suggest TTS to implement lightBurn Gcode Cluster
