THC not activating

I am trying to get to 200ipm. My max with previous settings was 190. Thus the velocity and acceleration changes. According to Halscope watching x-vel-cmd, it only reaches 3.333 momentarily during a y-lateral cut.  not the best screen shot... its   showing 2.9 but it did get to 3.3333 on a different try.  This is a curve leading into a straight line.  Looks very erratic to me tho.

Previous reply should state "x-lateral cut" not "y-lateral cut"

That explains why THC is not activating. I am not sure why the velocity is random, maybe it is not physically capable of the max specified. You could try the Calibration button in the Parameters/Setting tab and see if you can tune the motors.

When you mention update previously what did you update? The ini and prefs files don't seem to be the current version.

The update was an OS update. I assume it also updated QT at the same time. At any rate, I think I have it figured out: My X and Y velocity and acceleration speeds were too low. Your comment about the files not being the current version are correct. I found an old ini file that I uploaded to you guys back in May when I was first learning (still learning). My settings now were quite a bit different than the old ini. With settings updated, the THC works now. Not sure if the OS update or me, scrambled something. Old configurations are now deleted and new is backed up. Bright side is I definitely learned to back up settings and try to analyze the big picture!
Thank you all for your help!

Maybe I spoke too soon.... Update does not work for my build apparently, I am stuck on 223.185. one of the many errors: W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/cnl_dmc_ver1_07.bin for module i
915

I definitely don't remember such tight tolerances for velocity to get the thc to work and its sparingly at best. Something changed, Maybe me, maybe the program. I was able to make this work in 30 minutes last time and I was clueless then. Im not a Phd by any means , but this time I have spent almost 16 hours and $200 worth of metal to get back to where I was 8 months ago. I have spent hours reading. Everything I find is vague at best. What is the best way to set Velocity and Acceleration for each axis? And "what sounds good" is not acceptable, I am a newbie and have no clue what is good or bad.  Not trying to be rude, I just dont know.
Here is my current ini file...
Please and thank you

What OS did you upgrade to?
What does uname -v say?

The i915 is an intel graphics driver which they stuffed up in kernel 5.19 which Debian bookworm used briefly (now on 6.0). I don't think it was going to get fixed until kernel 6.1 which I think may be in the Bookworm repo so it could be installed from synaptic.

As far as velocity and accelleration goes, there is no benchmark as it all depends on your gantry weight, motor voltage, motor specs, gearing and other factors. The acceleration target should be 0.3 G (3000 mm/sec/sec,  118 in/sec/sec). You really need to do a lot of trial and error with real cuts as if you tune for maximum linear motion, the wheels will fall off in the real world. I learnt this from some brutal crashes....
