Following Russ's video, I got the new controller working, everything seems right-almost! Cutting is accurate, engraving is accurate, only problem is when engraving the faster I run it, the wider the over-scan, by about a magnitude of 6. It's usable, but the jobs take much longer. Anyone have an idea what I did wrong?

The faster you move the the more over travel you will get.
The only fix is to increase acceleration settings.....but backup up your vendor setting before adjusting any vendor settings
