Im in the middle of a 50 minute carve and the program stalls. Any thoughts?

Probably lost connection between the computer and the machine. Check your usb is secure and tight.

I had a similar issue for months, after reading a lot here I did the following:

• new wiring with double shielded wires
• grounded the shielding of the wires
• removed the power wire of DeWalt from drag chain
• updated Windows drivers
• externally powered USB hub between XController and PC
• switch energy safe options to full power (=do not switch anything off)
• switch USB energy safe mode to disabled (be careful here. It’s a separate option in the device manager for the USB * root hub and not part of the general energy saving options)
• removed the USB bulkhead from the XController und connected directly to the board using a mini USB cable
• manually changed the baud rate of used COM port in Windows to 115xxx (was 9xxx)

One of the last three points did the trick for me. I would suggest testing the quick wins (4, 5, 7, 8, 9) first, since they are quickly done and cheap.

A nice write-up worth working through chasing those little bugs.
