Greetings from CapeTown
decided to update Mach4....luckily kept copies and the copy still works....
But Mach4 version2 cant seem to initiate the Icon Integra card.
The visiDevice manager sees the card and everything so not sure what's happening?
I just see a black screen running in background complaining about not communicating with card
anybody that can maybe help or have overcome this?.

kind regards
Marne

Hello Marne

Mach4 version 2 is fully supported by our motion controllers. This list includes 7866, 7766, EC01, DSPMCv3, & HiCON mini.

When you update Mach4 Please update the firmware on the controller, The plugin in Mach4 and VSI Device manager to the latest version. The manuals and downloads are available near the bottom of each product page on our website.

We also encourage our users to maintain backups in case they don't like something that was added in by Mach4 or us and if there are some breaking changes for your custom scripts. Usually there is no need to update to the latest version if you are happy with the current operation. We continually add new features and bug fixes. It is nice to hear you had backups.

Thank you so much for reply. Managed to sort it out during the coarse of the day and yes was a combination of all the things you mentioned.
Updated Firmware
New plugin
Had to activate some motors again… and so far Machine runs like before.
Always a bit of a nervous thing to update software on a custom machine like this. 
Thank you again.
