    Which version of Inkscape are you using, and which version of the EggBot extensions are you using?

    Great– thanks!

    Let’s try upgrading you to a slightly newer version of the extensions, to see if that fixes it.

    Download this package:

    https://github.com/evil-mad/EggBot/releases/download/v2.8.0/eggbot2.8b_Windows.zip

    Unzip it and copy the entire contents of the “extensions” directory from that zip archive to your Inkscape extensions directory, overwriting the like-named files there.

    Your extensions directory is located at:
    C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\

    Then, restart Inkscape, and see if you have good communication to the EggBot.
