I have been reading through the manual and there are some parts (page 307 for example) which describe the program pausing to transmit way points to the arduino (or teensy in my case). I am wondering if I managed to get a complete CNC program created with hundreds of way points and loaded into the Software would this create one long pause at the beginner to load the entire program, or would there be frequent pauses along the way as it reads each line? Perhaps these are unrelated and I am not understanding how the software will handle my program. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

I plan on working on G-code interpretation soon. Currently each position is sent from the software to the teensy one at a time as they are executed. Linear move and circle moves take a fraction of a second longer as they have to transmit each of the points along a line or circle. If you were to extrapolate a CNC program into positions there might be a slight pause between each point. The software is not setup to read in more that one position at a time as the teensy would not have the memory for long string of positions but Im working on some updates to make reading gcode possible and remedy some of the issues.
