Machine Stutter / Notching Phenomenon

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I have not, I will try these in the morning when I'm back at the machine thank you.

Hi again,

So I tried your suggestions today.

Whilst running gcode I can see my base thread time hovers around 33k. It occasionally peaks to ~40k

In my .ini I have base as 50k and servo as 100k.

Is this correct??

Currently I'm watching latency test. With like 20 Firefox windows open and dragging one around I'm at around ~33k Base Thread Max Jitter and 26k Servo Thread.

However my last interval for servo is pinned at like 999999.. is that right?!

I think your servo thread is too fast, normally this should be set to 1ms (1000000 ns)

That's what it's set to, shall I increase it more?

Also I checked repeatability with a dial indicator, it's definatley losing steps.

Guess I will try another PC, maybe it's the BoB?

In my .ini I have base as 50k and servo as 100k.

is it 100K or 1000K? (should be 1000K)

It was 100k, but just tried 1000k and it's the same.

I'm leaning towards maybe a faulty BoB. I just powered everything up and I noticed the 5v LED from USB Power (I have it on a old iPhone mains usb charger - 5v) and noticed it dwindling slightly. Could this be an indication of problems? It has a steady 5v however.
