Mach 3 behaving badly?

[magicniner]

I think it is a must to install latest version, especially if you use third party plugins

It is a must to install a version supported by any third party hardware you use, if that isn't a requirement then the version quoted above is what most of the very experienced Mach3 Forum Admins recommend.

The latest version of Mach3 is not best, it's buggy, and knowing this then unless you need it to support something you are using or doing why on earth would you use the latest version of Mach3?

There are some things that other versions do best, the Mach3 forum is the place to find out the best version for any specific requirements you have, sometimes it's a slightly older version than 020! Again, assuming that latest is greatest is a recipe for problems.

Errors generated only when third party hardware is used cannot be laid at the door of Mach3, it is the sole responsibility of the third party to ensure their plugin runs seamlessly with Mach3 and it is entirely the fault of the third party if they do not,

This is a problem - first you have to discover what is causing the issue - is it the Software (mach3), the plugin (cs-labs), the hardware (me), the g-code (Vectric, Fusion, Sheet-Cam), the operator, so many issues can be triggered by any combination of one or more of these sources.

The plasma controller i use only works with ONE version of Mach3, nothing else and no it's not the latest ;)
