Thanks but I didn't. I do own a pmdx 132 which is awsome unit. Now I do know there is a way so there is hope. There is always hope

General Mach Discussion / Transfer from reseller ?

« on: September 27, 2016, 07:51:02 PM »

Hello I had purchased Mach4 through a reseller and have to contact them anytime i update my computer and wait for them to reply (I've been using old computers and upgrade anytime I can I'm on my third one in two years). Is there a way to transfer me directly to Newfangled Solutions so I can manage my own PCID's as i do with Darwin Parallel port licence, If I knew it were like this I would have bought my licence directly through Newfangled Solutions no disrespect to any resellers everyone has to make a living.

The license issue is really pinging my memory though, make sure its not just the license in latest version..

Hi Art
It was me all along I finally got back to it, I didn't register the new licensing right sorry for the long wait I can't work on my cnc unless its above 40 degrees because ma ma doesn't like camping any colder than 40  degrees and we camp a lot with the kids. But everything is working great! Thanks again.

Guys
I'm sorry for the delay but I have to finish a couple of awards for a friend. After that I'll reinstall the newest mach4 and move forward. I had them resend me the Darwin license to me so that will be the next thing I try.

Thanks for your time.

Its official I reinstalled  Mach4Hobby Installer-2313 using the latest DarwinSetup-V2-2611 and Homing works! So now we are still at square one witch isn't working quit right Mach4Hobby Installer-4.2.0.2660 or DarwinSetup-V2-2611  I would think it would be Mach4 2660 not telling Dawin to go home even though Mach4 is saying "HOMING"  but I could be wrong. All settings are the same I take photo's of each screen as to be sure each step is the same.

Thanks for your time

Hi Art

They are not lit up, all are red. They don't light up went hitting home switch not even when i hit the micro switch manually when in homing cycle, But on the diagnostics page the x y z light's up when manually hitting the micro switch  but don't zero out the axis,  Also when testing my axis limits they light up in  the diagnostics page and stop movement as they should, so it's my thought that it mite be on the Mach4 side of thighs because Darwin is sending the single I guess to prove it out tonight I'll load the older Mach4 version 1 to see if it will work again.

Hi Art
I tried everything I could think of everything works but homing, I can run a program move all around but when I hit ref all it says its homing but nothing moves I guess I'll reload the old version to verify all my settings again I checked for reverse home and its all as it should be.

Art it worked updating to VCRedistX86 and now it works thank you. I've got to figure out why it's not homing when I hit reference now it says its homing but no axes are moving bummer.

Hello Art

     I've just updated to Mach4 version 2 and I seen you had  DarwinSetup-V2-2611 out so i uninstalled all of Mach4 and Darwin and after I installed Mach4 version 2 and made sure it was working with new licencing I installed  DarwinSetup-V2-2611 it ran the test like previous versions of Darwin but when i started up Mach4 I received  "Failed to load shared library 'mcDarwin.m4pw' (error 0: the operation completed successfully.)  So I reinstalled all of Mach4 and Darwin three times to the same results then I installed the older   Darwin 2178  and it worked! So I need some guidance on how to get  -V2-2611 to work, I'm running windows 7 I see in previous post there were two of the same problems and tried the (VCRedist.exe) but had no luck.   

Art, thanks for all your knowledge and hard work
