    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    My brother is pretty sharp! Turns out I have too long of a USB connection. We have a hub under the coffee table and access the system in the closet. Too many hubs in a row (2) and a 25 foot extension. Plugged directly into computer it works perfectly. Thanks Windell for your help. I believe you did ask me to try other connection options!!

    Hey I have an idea! I’ll send it to my brother so he can try it out. He’s got one too and is responsible for getting me started. He’s also an electronics engineer!

    WOW had to download a new browser to get back here. I Have tried many things including cords and various EBF files. The serial read error keeps popping up. about 50% of command tries. A window opens with: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. In the small ‘sub’ window it says:


     Error reading serial data.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File “eggbot.py”, line 1403, in <module>
        e.affect()
      File “I:Program FilesInkscapeshareextensionsinkex.py”, line 215, in affect
        self.effect()

      File “eggbot.py”, line 1172, in ServoSetupWrapper
        if strVersion[0] == ‘0’:
    IndexError: string index out of range
    This occurred after applying a ‘toggle pen’ command in eggbot control/setup. The first few times worked fine then error!

    Thanks. Those are good ideas. I’ll reset the firmware too if needed. But alas, dinner calls! More later. Thank you

    Pardon my confusion, I just meant to say I sucessfully installed inkscape, the Extensions and USB drivers. I have also connected sucessfully with the eggbot using the egg-bot controll panel. Individual commands occasionally work but a plot command will stop quite quickly. Thankyou in advance for any help you can offer
