The Mach4Hobby plugin for the SmartBOB-USB family of controllers has been updated to version 0.36.171, released 28 January 2016.  This plug-in tested with Mach4 builds 2313 through 2803 and should work with later builds unless the API is changed..

New features since Version 0.33.159:

    Added information to debug log for comms error debugging

    Add support for PMDX-424 SmartBOB-ISO-USB

    The green LED now has a different flash pattern when waiting for a connection from the plug-in. While waiting for the plug-in the LED flashes one short flash every 2 seconds. When the device is connected to the plug-in the green LED will flash on for 1 second and off for 1 second. On the PMDX-410, PMDX-422 and PMDX-424 this is the green LED that is just under the red LED.

Bug Fixes Since Version 0.33.159:

    Fixed bug that corrupted the polling timer interval

    Fixed a bug in the homing code that caused an "Error 7" in certain situations

    Prevent spindle INDEX input messages from flooding the debug log and crashing Mach4
