Hi,

The problem appears to be that somewhere along the line, a change to Mach3 is causing this problem with the plugin, as it used to work fine.

As the plugin is no longer being supported the solution is to use the Mach3 brains instead of the plugin.

Cheers,

Peter.

I mentioned this to Peter over a year ago when I was trying to get two MODIO's to talk together over RS485. The plug in does not work.
Have a good day.

Maybe this isn't the place to ask but does John Prentice's ModIO Plugin work as well as shown in the videos wilt ONE ModIO? It looks pretty neat if it does. Can it be configured to Peter's "0" default address and use analog inputs? If not I can use brains.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony,

Yes it does. It work well with one ModIO. The problem is when tryiing to configure the 2nd one.

Cheers,

Peter.
