Actually if you would like to export your profile from mach4 and post i can take a look, its prob just a simple setting somewhere.

I hav`nt tried this script with the latest ESS plugin, it was for the old 186 version so no guarantees it will still be working.

Both profile name and screen name need to be unique names not used more than once then they can never be overwritten unless its a backup of the origianal profile.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4gui.exe in demo mode - Mach4

« on: November 13, 2016, 05:39:15 PM »

The Demo Mode is a full complete Mach4, its just time limited, infact dont know if its still the same but it used to have features in it that were only available in the industrial version and putting your hobby licence in deactivated them, but I am sure thats been fixed.

I doubt we will get any help from this forum at this point.  So far I have only received only one response to the last 3 questions I have posted

You have to remember that all information submitted is free and submitted during free time and for some of us that does`nt come often these days ;-) .

With mach4 most items that require input into the core will require some form of plugin written for it or provided by the manufacture, however you could look up using serial with lua, there are classes within the mach4 examples folder, and a search with mrs google on this will give you plenty.

Its hard for any form of developer to develop a plugin for something they cant test, saying that the link from rhuttle uses software to output to a txt file this can be read from lua and displayed in a txt box that updates via the PLC.

There are many possibilities..........

So you got an output that goes to 7v max at 18000 rpm, those types of graphs are excellant, but try doing one first from the ESS and to see if your getting the full 5v from the ESS, if this the case then you are setup ESS wise and need to sort the c11.
