Hi again.
After some testing, I can say I have had no more program interruptions. I've been playing around with the max velocities and accelerations of each axis and joint to find a sweet spot where the machine does not produce those unpleasant vibrations and knocking noises. There is, however, something still weird about it.
When running LinuxCNC and even some light app like a file manager or something, everything is in order. This may sound silly, but whenever there is a terminal open and I am interacting with it, the vibrations happen. So much so that when I have for example my .hal open in vim in the terminal and I use the mouse scroll wheel to navigate the file, the vibrations are in tandem with my scrolling of the wheel. Extremely weird in my opinion, yet I can definitely say it's not a joke.
Any idea what could be causing this? Granted, I am not too worried, as I am not planning on having any terminal (or anything for that matter) be opened alongside LinuxCNC when the machine is in production.
PS. Could anyone help me out in making Axis GUI not set the max velocity to the maximum allowed when I start LinuxCNC? This behavior could be dangerous if someone were to run a poorly written program, so I'd like to have it set to a smaller value by default on startup.
