Hi there, do you have a source for a plugin dll or the ETH PRO that the docs refer to.  I can ping the unit but without a plugin etc, Mach3 cant communicate.

You might try the USB motion driver found for a similar board listed here
https://buildyourcnc.com/item/electronicsAndMotors-electronic-component-breakout-Mach3-USB-Board

The dll properties list its filename as 'RnRMotionMini' with a trademark for 'BITSENSOR.COM'

even better maybe, the internet archive

Also at https://web.archive.org/web/20181213082306/http://bitsensor.com/downloads/paraminjector.zip

Is a file to change the default ethernet address... part of its readme
"The default IP address of the Board is "192.168.8.8", In order to communicate with the Board, you need setup your PC's IP address within the same subnetwork"

Thanks for the help.  The seller sent a zip file with some support docs, including the instructions on connecting to it via the network.  Have followed that and got to a point wher I can ping the board and it responds, but without the dll plugin or similar, Mach3 cant communicate with the board.  One of the docs refers to clicking on 'Eth Pro' (which is maybe like a support plugin) but I cannot find any trace of it.

Hi All. Sorted thanks ( i think).  I have bought and paid for Mach3 and are building another machine. The install file was corrupted that the seller had sent so I just used my own.  Followed the suggestion earlier and found the install file on the wayback machine and it includes all the drivers.

Hi All.  I have it communicating, thanks to the idea of the wayback machine and the now non exisitent bitsensor website.  The inputs are doing as they should however the outputs are misbehaving. When you jog any of the axis, the x, y and z all track simultaneously (on the display). The hotkeys are not mapped the same, the external mpg inputs are disabled. This is a real pain.  It only seems to be a problem when the plugin is installed, but I cant do without it because without, mach3 cant communicate with the ethernet controller.  Hmm these bitsensor boards are a pain.
