I’ve had trouble running Carbide Potion smoothly, see details here:

Carbide Motion 618 super slow on my computer

Hello Everyone, first post here! Just bought a new Shaperpro and now trying to initialize the machine. Problem: Carbode motion is super slow (kind of not responding/ hard to close) making it impossible to use. it happens whether or not the USB is connected hardware minimal requirements are met (2Ghz proc, 8Go RAM) all other programs are shut off. I’ve tried to disable antivirus/malware/etc => same run the program on another GPU (graphic card and not integrated one) => same run the program o…

Been trying all kinds of solutions, turns out the problem comes from the bluetooth, although it is not used by CM.
As soon as I turned off the blutooth device on my computer, everything is fine and once I turn it on, CM is super slow again.
Hope it can help someone

There was some issues with earlier versions of carbide motion and Bluetooth, but I do believe that’s been fixed with the latest version 636. Here’s a link to the download page.
Hope this helps.

Nope, it still happens with CM 636n that’s for sure
Next update maybe?

We found that was something wrong with the way that some PC’s/drivers/Windows handled serial port enumeration- it blocked/stalled in a big way when Bluetooth devices were connected. That code was removed at some point in the past few releases(I don’t recall but it’s in the change log). As far as I’m aware it fixed all Bluetooth-related lagging.

I have notice that once the shapeoko is connected / initialized, I can turn on the bluetootj again and it works great
