    I've noticed since the new update that my machine will stop/pause at random times during operation. Control software does not display that it is paused but the axis on my machine come to a halt but spindle keeps spinning. If I hit pause then start sometimes it will go again but most of the time it will not take the command and ill be forced to hit stop which will shut down the operation. Please help!
    I build and post process with Fusion 360
    Like I said I've not had this issue until I recently decided to take the update

    Refer to the Changelog: OpenBuilds-CONTROL/CHANGELOG.txt at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL - always good to know what changed in an update, to help consider whether it could be related

    More likely random pausing would be related to: docs:blackbox:faq-emi [OpenBuilds Documentation] or you forgot to follow step 4.2 during initial install docs:blackbox:install-windows-selective-suspend [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    note: a windows update can reset the USB power settings. They reset all sort of things I prefer to have OFF.

    Changed settings like you suggested and took apart all the wires. I also separated them a bit just to see if we could get through a full cut and it did. We'll see what the future holds. I did notice some weird characters in the serial monitor sometimes. Had to be that EMI
