One of the first questions we will ask you when trouble-shooting a Mach4/PMDX-SmartBOB issue is what version of Mach4, PMDX-SmartBOB plug-in and SmartBOB firmware you are running. You can find all of this information in a few handy places:
(1) When running Mach4, go to the "Diagnostic" menu and select the "PMDX-SmartBOB-USB".
*OR*
(2) When running Mach4, go to the "Configure" menu and select "Plugins..." In the"Configure Plugins" dialog, look for the "PMDX-SmartBOB-USB" line and click on the "Configure" button.
*OR*
(3) Exit Mach4 (if you were running it). Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and navigate to the Mach4Hobby directory, usually C:Mach4Hobby. Then change into the "Profiles" directory. Then change into the directory for the profile that you are using. For example, if your profile name is MyMillProfile, you will go to:
C:Mach4HobbyProfilesMyMillProfile
Look for a file named "PMDXVersionInfo.txt". That contains all of the information displayed in (1) and (2) above.
As of our plug-in version 0.30.136 (Aug 2015), that information looks something like this:
Mach4 Build#: 2230
Screen Set: wxMach.set
PMDX SmartBOB-USB Device: PMDX-422 [Rev B PCB] on COMx
PMDX SmartBOB-USB Serial Number: SNxxxxxx
PMDX SmartBOB-USB Plug-In Version: 0.18.95
PMDX SmatBOB-USB BootLoader Version: 1.6.61
PMDX SmartBOB-USB Firmware Version: 0.32.104
