How to improve greyscale engraving around 10-30% and 70-100% with Laserweb3?

This file is causing pausing. the last command was a ok,

This one also pausing

@cprezzi
the file.gcode one did work 3 times before it paused. so i dont believe it is the G code. more likely a time out of some sort. (not that i have any idea tbh :stuck_out_tongue: )In every case clicking pause and then resume restarts with no problem

Our server.js is waiting for a ok after each sent line of gcodes before sending the next line. The queue will block if we miss just one ok. By pausing and resuming, you kick the queue on again. Same should happen when clicking overrides.
Now I need to replicate the problem to find a solution. Thank you for your support.

@Bonne Wilce How much faster than before is the raster engraving now?

@cprezzi no problem thank you for your work :slight_smile:
Would removing the ok be possible? would it speed up rastering? less to do = more speed?

@cprezzi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw-HYXhMd28 here is the lastest video,
This is now streaming over laser web so if you compare that to the previous test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te9RbgtTCaM the first engrave is streaming from lw the other 2 are from sd card

@cprezzi do you have a file which you run and would be “perfect” to test, i will run it and we can compare results

@Bonne Wilce Unfortunatly removing the ok response is no option, as it is needed to know when the controller is ready for more data.

@Bonne Wilce I can see that the first gcode file was not made with the smoothie_buffer branch as it mixes G0 and G1 moves and has unneeded decimals. Could you try to load the jpeg and generate the gcode with LW please.

However, the files was running through here without stopping.

@cprezzi

uh thats odd, i have restarted the server,Is this launching as it should? say it is uptodate with the smoothie_buffer.
here is another example file from the lw3 does this look like it should?

as for the stopping it really is kinda random, perhaps its a usb cable issue the one im currently using has had a bit of abuse.
