 +====Motion====
 +
 +Upon opening the Motion tab in Settings, you are presented with the following window: 
 +
 +{{:mycnc:config-motion-001.jpg}}
 +
 +The following settings can be edited in the Motion tab:
 +
 +**CV Tolerance** signifies the amount of "smoothing" on corners that is allowed at maximum, and is done in order to make the program go through corners faster instead of stopping at every sharp corner. As seen in the image below, the tolerance describes the distance from the "ideal" corner to the actual tip of the corner that the machine will produce. 
 +{{  mycnc:mycnc-cv-mode-001.png?450 }}
 +
 +**S-curve smooth filtering** specifies the time the controller gives the machine to adjust its acceleration during sharp turns. A larger value allows for a larger impulse time, resulting in reduced stress and shocks to the machine hardware. 41ms is recommended. 
 +
 +**Look Ahead Break Angle**. If the angle is larger than this, the machine will stop at corner completely in order to allow for a sharper cut. An example of such a cut is shown in the image below: 
 +{{  mycnc:mycnc-exact-mode-001.png?450 }}
 +
 +**2D Cutting** is used on plasma/gas machines which lack a configurable z-axis. This option is turned OFF by default.
 +
 +**Step-jog count** specifies whether the user wants the machine to monitor the inputs sent to it as it is already moving or not. If selected, the machine will count however many signals are sent to it even if it is moving already, if not selected then the machine will ignore other signals until it has completed its initial movement. 
 +
 +**Sync G0 & (G1, G2, G3) Overspeed** allows the user to sync the rapid and cutting speeds, allowing the user to use one set of buttons (shown in the screenshot below) to change them at the same time.
 +
 +{{:mycnc:config-motion-002-overspeed.jpg}}
 +
 +**Creep Speed** specifies the speed of the machine after it begins to cut into the working material. It is advisable to set it to be lower than the actual working speed for a small portion of time at the start of the cut. This time is specified in seconds.
 +
 +**Overspeed**. The Jog, G0 and G1, G2, G3 Overspeeds signify the value by which the speed is higher/lower than the one specified by the running program. This is useful so as to be able to change the speeds on the fly. The max and min values specify the speed boundaries, so if a certain boundary needs to be imposed, the operator cannot accidentally go over or under the max/min speed limits by using the sliders on the main screen. The step meanwhile indicates the increments by which the speed values change when the operator clicks the main screen sliders.  
 +
 +**Speed/Acceleration** table allows the user to edit the values for Feed/Rapid/Jog speeds and accelerations of different axes, as well as the speed/acceleration limits on these axes. Note that the axes can be coupled, with settings for the xy-axes being changed together in the setup shown in this example.
