January 31, 2023 inventables released a new driver.
Their old driver also did not officially support windows 7 or 8, however it did work with them for most users. But the newest security feature requirements of windows 11 essentially eliminates windows 7 and 8 users from using usb devices with the latest drivers… and this is the issue we see here. Easel would need to host 2 versions of Easel in order to continue to support the old driver and that isn’t really feasible, as a result windows 7 and 8 users need to update their version of windows to use the “carve” function of easel. You could download the gcode and use a different software that uses different drivers that are prior to this security update, but now many newer versions of other free sender softwares are also being forced to update and will soon completely eliminate the ability for any windows 7 and 8 pc to operate a usb data streaming device (like a cnc).
my suggestion is to update windows or get a new computer with the latest version of windows…
