SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Lua Error

« on: September 17, 2021, 10:54:52 PM »

Whenever I load my PMDX profile and press the "Enable" button I get an error that states "Lua: Error occurred while opening file cannot open C:\Mach4Hobby\Profiles\PMDX416\Macros\mcLua.mcc"
PMDX416 is a profile I created by copying the PMDX sample profile.  I have ensured that the file is in the directory but have watched it get deleted from the directory when loading the screen.  Why is the file getting deleted when loading the screen?
It happens on a clean installation with the only addition is the plug-in for my PMDX controller.  In the profiles created by Mach4 there is no problem.  The Profiles created by The PMDX plug-in installer all have the same problem.  I don't know what it changes when it installs.  It is the latest build for both PMDX and Mach4.

Can the PMDX - 108 input board be used with the PMDX 422 to increase the number of inputs and if so what would be the correct way to connect them?

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PNP Proximity Sensors

« on: March 28, 2015, 12:10:46 AM »

Having trouble getting the PMDX 422 SmartBOB to recognize PNP proximity sensors.  the sensors are powered by an external 12v power supply and I have a 10k resistor on the signal output line from the sensor into input "11".  I set Mach4  to read that pin, with "active low" checked it reads as on and when unchecked it reads as off.  However, it does not read the signal from the sensor at all.  My meter shows +5 v at the input when the sensor is off and +12 V when on.  Any help would be appreciated.
