Hi Gerry  am going to try and find out how to close mach without a reboot.

I don't think you can

But as everything is working now I dopnt want to play about with the settings .

AS Art mentioned, the problem is that the next time you turn off your PC, the settings can appear to change on their own, which results in another crash. That's what happened to both Art and I today.

Looks like your getting the same thing I am, Art. That's encouraging. But the crashes are incredibly frustrating.

When I just started Mach4, I get a warning:

"file \Machine.ini, line 2145: key SpindleMax was first found at line 1625"

When I click OK, I get another:

"entry "SpindleMax" appears more than once in Group "/Darwin".


I haven't touched any spindle settings since I installed last night, as I don't have a machine connected. Only 3 motors enabled in Darwin, and the three were assigned to X, Y, and Z in Mach4.

I went into Config:Mach, and saw that the motors were no longer enabled. When trying to enable them, I once again got the dreaded frozen Mach4, requiring yet another 5 minute reboot.

At this point, Mach4 crashes so frequently that it's not any fun even trying to do anything with it, as the crashes ALWAYS require a reboot. Looks like I'll wait a few more weeks and try again.

I misread Russ's post. When I saw the 4 in Screen4, I was thinking that he was taking about Mach4.

I got the same message when my velocity was too high for the kernel speed, but when I lowered it, it worked fine.
Hopefully Art will have an answer for you.

Try lowering the velocity to 150 and see if it works.

2487
Are you using Mach3 or Mach4? I was assuming Mach3, since it's not in the Mach4 section.

Looks like at some point, this forum may need to be split into two sections. Right now 99% of it is Mach3, with one small subforum for Mach4.

You need to open the screenset in a screen editor and change the format of the DRO's.

Hi Art
 I Just upgraded to Mach 4 1936 . Now I cannot get it to run with Darwin. If I go to Sim it works OK. but when I go to darwin I get "Darwin buffer erroe - too fast.



What kernel speed, steps/unit, and velocity settings are you using?

I'm guessing that this is something that Mach4 should deal with, but if you set your velocity too fast for the kernel speed, you get a "Darwin Buffer Error - Too Fast?"
You might want to change the error to "Velocity too high?", as it took me a while to figure out the problem.
While trying to figure out the problem, I tried to switch back to the Sim driver. While setting up motors and axis mapping, Mach4 crashed hard again. I think this is what was happening the other day.
When I tried to run Darwin test, it said another instance of Darwin was already running, and then it opened and appeared to hang. System required a hard reboot.
I doubt I'll see this again, now that I know what I'm doing (a little bit). Just giving you a little info for reference.
