The new ESS plugin now supports multiple probes so the G31.1 now works great!

Yes, Andy Warp9 fixed ESS so it works great with multiple probes!   G31.1 works great with a second probe for me!  Thanks Andy!

I hope you get it figured out.   Someday soon you will look back and feel good about the accomplishment, once it works!

This has to be a problem the Pokeys side of your system.  My system uses different hardware and software but the plugin installation did most of the work for me.

Do you have the newest plugin for Mach4, following the instructions for setup etc.

There is possibly a conflict between the Ethernet connection and the Pokeys controller.  Windows needs to be properly configured to see the Ethernet port etc.  That is done by the Pokeys installation I think.

I have just learned that there is not a file listing how to optimize Windows in Mach4 like there was in Mach3.  However, get rid of everything you don't need including antivirus software.  Turn off automatic updating of Windows plus no screen saver and no power saving.  Don't use the internet with this PC for now.  Might need to reinstall the Pokeys plugin.

I am not an expert, but I have enjoyed working with Mach3 for many years on a few systems and recently switched to Mach4.  The new environment and hardware is definitely a step up but of course the learning curve can be steep.  I am currently climbing...

Hope that helps.  I know the feeling.
Keith

Mach4 General Discussion / image manager?

« on: April 23, 2017, 06:48:43 PM »

The screen editing example documentation mentions adding images to screens through the 'image manager'.

I have searched all the docs, forums, etc and cannot see how to get additional images.  I saw mention of zipping and unzipping the screen set but that did not work for me to expose the directory of images.

Where can we place .png images to add to our screen backgrounds?

Thanks
Keith
