I thought this was what you meant and my head is several levels down from yours so I really don’t have a chance LOL

Not necessarily. My software background is not in the language used by FluidNC and my hardware knowledge is pretty limited. I only have a super high level understanding of what I2S even is and I am not quite sure how it comes into the picture.

Well my software and hardware background are “I am a boat captain” LOL. So I promise you are SEVERAL steps above me. My extremely limited understanding comes from what all I have learned from the extremely smart folks here on the forum!

I think you are forgetting several years of college for software you have over me 
Up until July absolutely. These last few hitches I have been moving around a good bit more so I might have passed you up LOL

To be fair, I started learning to write software long before college… and I’ve been doing it for 20 years since college…
But quit trying to divert the conversation away from my boat captain prowess

I don’t get what is so special about it LOL. What y’all can do is WAY cooler to me than this mess LOL. I am just an underpaid babysitter 99% of the time LOL

That’s a lot better. At least you can be a lot more comfortable, beer in hand. and MUCH better scenery around 
I think it should.
Are you using I2S_STATIC or I2S_STREAM?
From what I gather, the changes get rid of needing to specify this correctly, and the 2 modes are identical into the future.
Previously I2S_STATIC was slower, with more jitter, but had lower latency and played better with lasers.
The new release, according to Mitch, should be able to step at 250K steps/second, which is 2x what he claimed before, even in I2S_STREAM mode. This speed, however, should also still include the low jitter of STREAM mode, and the low latency of STATIC mode.
It would probably be a good data point to test where the raster speed limit is on 3.7.17, and then again on 3.8.4

I have no idea. I will have to check when I get back home. Got a bunch of Laser work to do so thats why I was hoping I could speed it up some

Seems to be working great on my JL1, I think you’ll like it.

I am very excited for this. I did keep track of my laser settings in another thread and it would be very cool to push the raster limits on both to see if this is what the change is about or not.
More importantly we are hopefully going to back to a stable release, with Better AP more, and something deep inside is faster, with some other complications removed.

Im going to aim for a 100mm/s raster when I get home. We will see if I can hit it lol. Ive been running 60mm/s no issues so I am hopeful

It is not just speed, it is dot density. So a certain dot size and a certain speed. Like printing is mm/s^3, for laser speed it is dots per second. 100mm/s with a 1mm dot is a lot slower than 100mm/s with a 0.01mm dot size. So we need dots per second, not mm/s. Or how fast we can flip the light switch. so any comparisons, you can only change one variable.

Yeah I dont plan to change DPI from where it is at now. I like how it is rastering. I just would like to see if it can go faster doing it LOL. I know I will have to change the power level some to make up for the laser moving faster but that should be it.

Made a couple of tweaks to your skin, many thanks for the head start! Still a bit to do… Finished my LR4 yesterday and going to run the latest firmware (3.8.4-pre6) to test properly in the coming weeks…
Nice! Note that there shouldn’t be a scrollbar on the joystick jog extension. I made a change to fix that not too long ago in the latest WebUI v3 version. That extension also does some interesting things to make the canvas themeable. It’s basically pulling the style from the panel header for that center circle. It has functionality to change that color to the background if the current status does not allow for jogging. Some details on that here:
