Hummm,
The bug appears here, when everything is running: SS, Modbus, Brians, and then you "Edit" and reload your Brian, or sometimes, enable or disable a brian, and then view the enabled one, it then crashes.
After that once you reboot mach (post crash), it then runs ok, (unless the Ground bug in the SS appears), but with repowering the SS that unlocks the USB glitch. It then works ok, untill.......... you try to edit the Brians and then the Mach Crashes, again......
I dont know what else to do really, The only work around I have found here is to Unhook the SS, and turn off the Plugin. Then close and restart mach3, do all the Brians changes, and Serial Modbus changes that need to be done. Then close mach3, and reopen, then enable the plugin then close and open again (with the SS pluged in). It then comes up ok, and runs ok.....
I dont know for sure what it is, but my suspecion is that there is something in the way the active Brian Editor, or Brian controller interacts with the active SS. I dont understand why.
But I can recreate it on any 3 of my comps one running XP, one running Vista 32, and last Vista 64
