April 2, 2019 at 9:41 am #27202jbwooParticipantThankyou for replying
I’m using windows Pc/ Inkscape version 0.91 and Eggbot 250A
All downloaded from
https://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Installing_software#WindowsI had no problem using eggbot pro until yesterday. suddenly it started to show error message yesterday

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.
