Understood.

Thanks,

And I just discovered my dead LCD display this morning. going to be a few weeks before I can get a new one from china. although I see gravitech is having a sale on them right now. Maybe I'll order one of their's.

Here's a new LCD Dro. The older versions had a problem with saving/replacing the comport value in the XML.  Now if we could just get Mach3 to stop hanging on shutdown while the DLL is loaded.

Colton,

Any chance you may know what's going on here?

Kinda odd. I've just recently installed a new computer and had no problem with the LCDDRo. I'd check the serial port settings in the General Config to make sure it's not conflicting.

Yep, already checked but thanks for looking in-

UPDATE:

Nevermind, I figured it out. My XP version was too old as I needed the SP2 upgrade and also 3.5 NET install as well.

Hope this helps others someday-

I may have a problem with using the plugin
If I use the macropump method it works fine so I know the board is OK. I have changed the com port with the xml viewer. When I open the xml again it is saved correct. If I then open mach3, the com port number reverts back to -1. Am I doing something wrong?

Just read a reply that appears to address my issue - cheers
