I recently upgradef to the 1.0.9 because i bought a jtech 14w laser. And ever since i have had major issues with the machine cutting files in really weird paths, dropping and raising bit randomly during cut and not plunging at the depths set in gcode. Ive ran these files hundreds of times in the past with no issues other than router issues. Hopefully someome can help, as what it is doing is making my end product unusable

the appearance of this issue after upgrading may be just a coincidence. However problems of this kind often appear due to cable connector problems.
