Problem description

When I run a job, even a simple ellipse___, I expect it to complete_, but instead moves to the location, gets about halfway through an object and then it stops. The laser stays on until I abort and turn off laser. It will re-start another job without any problems but never finishes_ happens.

This problem is | has always happened.

* I connect via USB to rPi running server and through websocket to MacOS running frontend

* My computer(s) on which I run LaserWeb run(s) <!-- choose all that apply -->  Mac version catalina

Here is my configuration:

Such behaviour is usually cause by bad USB connections. Try to use a short, high quality USB cable.
