In an effort to update my Mach4 Hobby software and ESS plugin I somehow created a mess.
Here is what I did:
1. reinstalled Mach4 2.0.3390
2. deleted old ESS plugin
3. dropped in ESS mach4 plugin 202 into the plugin folder in C: mach4
4. restarted computer
5. opened Mach4
When I opened Mach4 mill I was presented with Pic 1
I select 10.9.9.9 and hit enter, Pic 3
Then I am presented with Pic 4
I hit enter and get Pic 5
This screen (pic5) never goes away and I can not select any other options. I am forced to restart the Mach4 and then I use a generic preloaded Mill folder. I am able to get to the main Mach4 screen when I do this but I am never presented with an ESS setup screen when using the generic preset folder.
I check to see if the ESS plugin is in the Config. screen, pic 6
Nothing, there so I look at the system file, pic 8
Warp9 is present which tells me the plugin information works but there is a miscommunication somewhere.
So I checked the ESS communication itself and all is green; pic 2
From what I understand the computer is talking with the ESS. Mach4 is stable and the ESS plugin is recognized but on startup, Mach4 is not recognizing the ESS on 10.9.9.9
I checked my windows firewall and I reloaded the SCU incase. All options lead to no joy.
Ideas? I had my previous versions working fine until I updated...
Update: I have rebooted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Mach4 and the ESS plugin, I tried a version older of the ESS plugin.
