Have a Smoothstepper  ESS that runs fine on an old Win10en laptop running Mach 3. Trying to upgrade to Mach4 on a win11 laptop. Red & Blue lights are lit on the SS. I downloaded the recommended plugins and pasted them into the plugin folder. I chose the easy SS configuration. After the configuration the SS does not show up in the plugin list or the configure plugin page. I may have screwed up when asked what the SS was connected to. I chose Smoothstepper instead of local network. If this is the problem I'm not sure how to change it. Help is appreciated.

Hi,
I would suggest posting on the Warp9TD forum about ESS setups ona new installation.

I had a bit of a battle eight years ago when I set up my ESS with Mach4.....but after eight years I've forgotten all the steps I took.
The basic problem was that I had not taken the correct procedure that allowed Mach4Hobby to operate through the Firewall and AntiVirus software,
although that was not plain to me at the time.

Thanks Craig... I'll give that a try.
