General Mach Discussion / Re: Cannot connect to my BOB from mach3

« on: May 01, 2018, 06:55:57 AM »

Over the years bugs in Mach3 and the Warp9 ESS plugin were gradually resolved, it was never perfect but unless you use the latest stable versions you will just be finding the problems of the past.

Ahh, thanks Craig.

@Johnansaro, you should still be using a more up to date version of Mach3.

It looks like you are using an old version of Mach3 - you should really be using version R3.043.062 together with the latest version of the smooth stepper plugin (170328_u4f1h for the ESS).

General Mach Discussion / Re: wait action in macros

WaitForMove

That is not a valid command it is just a comment.

Scripts and Mach do not run in sync so the commands " While IsMoving() / Wend " will cause the script to wait until Mach has completed the previous operation before continuing. There is debate if the command " Sleep(1000) " servers a useful purpose.

Hi Deon,

Try sending BR549 a PM. He does not visit here quite so often nowadays but I am sure he would be pleased to help.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Hotkeys are not working

« on: April 27, 2018, 01:39:57 AM »

What I did was going Config>System Hotkeys>and I press X++>"SetHotKeys"> Then I press the Up arrow, but nothing happens.

You should notice the Scan Code for X++ has changed to 38.

If this does not happen then check your keyboard operation is OK.
If keyboard is OK then I suggest you reload Mach3 from scratch.
