The Mach4Hobby plugin for the SmartBOB-USB family of controllers has been updated to version 0.29.128, released 16 July 2015.  This plug-in works with Mach4 builds 2313 through 2522.

** PLEASE READ THE RELEASE NOTES !! They contain important information about using these new features and bug fixes.

New features since Version 0.26.117:

    Added support for G31 probing (see Probing Features and Restrictions for more information).

    Homing supports the CYCLE STOP button

    If the SmartBOB is selected as the motion device, the plug-in checks the motor and axis configuration and
    reports an error if a motor is disabled and is assigned/mapped to an axis that is enabled.

    Decreased the distance that homing moves the axis onto the home switch before stopping, and increased
    the speed used to move the axis back off of the home switch.

Bug Fixes Since Version 0.26.117:

    Fixed installer bug that failed to detect Mach4 Industrial running during the installation process.

    Add work-around for startup issue in Mach4 that prevented Mach4 from properly interpreting input
    signals from our plug-in on startup.

    No longer report a motor configuration error if the motor is disabled and NOT assigned to an axis.
