If it is not checked, the input is not active. If the box is checked, that means the input is active. Some boxes may be checked, some boxes may not be checked, it depends on how your BOB is designed (pull ups and pull downs on each input), and more importantly if you have something wired to an input and what it is doing. This shows you the current state of all the ESS inputs as it sees them (after adjusting for Active Hi/Low). The ESS Diagnostics window has an Inputs tab. This window may be useful during the initial setup of your machine, but I almost never go into it except during some rare troubleshooting. The ESS Diagnostics window may be found at: "Mach4 Menu -> Diagnostic -> ESS v.". You will not get spammed by these messages anymore.Īs of ESS build 258, the aforementioned messages will not spam your profile's log window. (Same effect as #1 without installing the plugins.) > Plugins, and disable the TMC3in1 plugin there, orĢ) Open your "C:\Mach4Hobby\Profiles\YOUR PROFILE NAME\Machine.ini" file, and search for "TMC3in1=1".
If you do not have a TMC3in1, but your log file is getting spammed with " TMC3in1 Register Update HANDLE FAILURE." messages, that is because the TMC3in1 plugin is enabled in your profile, but the TMC3in1 plugins are not present.ġ) Add the TMC3in1 plugins to your "C:\Mach4Hobby\Plugins" folder, open Mach4 menu -> Configure -> Control. TMC3in1 Handle Failure Messages in the log file If you place mc.mcCntlSetLogging(inst,1) in your screen_load_script this will automatically turn the logging on for you. What is really helpful is if you can say my problem X happened at this specific time (what ever it happens to be) in the log file. If possible try to make the log as short and concise as possible (I don't need 20 minutes worth of data if you can make it happen in 20 seconds), but also don't delete relevant information either.
Just before you cause the event to happen or just before you start the run, please press the 'Clear' button to get rid of any extraneous information in the log file.Īfter the event occurs, pleas press the save button to save the data, and then upload it to us if requested or relevant. Then Press the Play button in the Log Window to start recording the messages. To do this, go to Menu -> Diagnostic -> Logging.
If something weird is happening in Mach4, I will usually ask you for a Log File so I can see exactly what happened in Mach4 and the ESS plugin.
