Okay, I reinstalled Darwin and the license file-
now I see that the license is valid.
All issue seems to be fixed now-
thank you for your tipps!
Great work, glad to use the software!

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hey Peter,
seems to be a license problem.
I'll first fix this issue and test again (Details in the Darwin tread)-
thanks for your support!

Okay- new info:
I found it (help - System Information -plugins)
You're right: Plugins -> mcDarwin Shows "Not licensed"
The licence key is her: C:\Mach4Hobby\Licenses. Whats wrong?
Do I have to execute anything in darwin for licensing like in Mach4?

Hi Art,

the latest Version of both components are installed.
You write I can get the license info from the System registry- where can I find the entry?
(Really a registry key?)

Ok, I've had a look. Do you mean the homing offset workaround?
This is based on homed axes- but my problem is that there's no movement when I try to home the axes.

Additional info: When I try to activate the home switch manually the machine is already in "homing state".
I've expected that the homing state will be left. But no reaction- the machine stays in homing state.

Mach4 seems to lose connection to darwin

Hi to all,

I have a problem with Mach4 and Darwin- after a random time (5~10 Minutes) Mach4 don't react on any external inputs of my Darwin interface.
I thought that the input script is not longer executed- so then I tried to start a job with the Mach4-Buttons on the screen.
I see the state toggling to "StartCycle" but nothing happens, too.

Some days ago I saw inside a job that Mach4 stops working. No Message, no error -
It stuck in the middle of the G-code. I tried disabling, re-enabling, reset the job- no chance!
The spindle was already running. But no further movements.
A restart of Mach4 solves this state.

I opened the Darwin interface setup- there I can see that Darwin is detecting input changes in the "error state"- but It seems that Mach4 loses the connection or control.
Any Idea? I attached the log when I try to start a job in case that mach4 stuck.

For information: In the error state there are no longer input changes written in the log and no further reaction of the regarding input LEDs in the Mach4 diag screen- only in the darwin setup itself.
For getting the error state I have only to wait - Machine on - working. Then I go for drinking a coffee - when I come back: Machine stuck  Shocked

Regards and thanks!
Sebastian

To the comment of ger21 - where can I find the "Darwin main thread" ?

Thanks, I checked this.
After copying the license file to the regarding folder the "Demo"-Appendix in the title bar of Mach4 disappeared.
In addition to that I see "Licensed" in the About-Window.

I thought that the code of dazthegas is a work around for ESS-specific problems.
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
