I am using a raspberry pi with UCS, when I am running a large gcode file it tends to hang every now and then even if I am not doing any activity, but never had an issue with the workpiece being ruined, it just stops working until the PI can push more gcode. It also happens sometimes when I am browsi...

I'll be curious to hear...please also let us know what power supply and speed control you used. I purchased the item on this link, which comes with a power supply. I've tried it today and after connecting all the wires and turning it on, it didnt run at all. It turned out that the problem was that ...

@rodcar125 , thanks for the info, will definitely try it when I am back from work. I understand that you are running "chilipeppr", do you recommend it? why did you choose it? I've tried alternatives after my failed attempt to run universal gcodesender before but non worked for me. I've tried using "...

I've been using the "universal gcode sender" before and I really liked it since you could manually enter the movement amount when moving the spindle and it had a "pa...
