Hi Sasha:

 Im told it means your darwin license is wrong. Your license file inside should say NF_DARWIN in the file you got.
Can you confirm its there? Did you load it using the help/about in m4? In the file you got it should be similar to

# License created: 01-10-2014
# MAC: D00B-39DE3C35656130D2
# Expires on DD-MM-YYYY: 26-04-2044
# Licensed application:
#    Name: "NF_DARWIN"
#    Description: "Darwin Plugin License"
# Features included:
#         M4_DARWIN
# Custom data:
#         url=http://www.machsupport.com
#         support=support@machsupport.com

   Is the M4_DARWIN in yours? You may have copied the wrong file..

Hi:

  In the darwin registers, set StepWidth from 0 - 5

Hi All:

  Here is a drop of Darwin for ver. 2350, I exposed the encoder counts in this
version. Brian will release an official version eventually, meanwhile, heres the latest.

Hi:

>>  I also have the system hang, if you select the choice "select motion control device" af

  This was reported quite a bit early on, not so much anymore. Is this all with latest versions?

Hi:

 There is API Docs soon to be released I think, for Lua users, but for the SDK you need to sign a nondisclosure and
such. Youd need to get in touch with Brian to get the full details..

 You could be right, on the one I have in front of me, it looked more like the serial connection was upwards in thin slabs that are the full size of the square..
but then Ive never opened one..

Tweakie:

 In my imaginings, I had planned on drilling a small hole in a peltier element I have here. They are semiconductor slabs really so
drilling a hole shouldnt hurt them. then if the gantry pulled the peltier along while burning the glass though the peltier, I might
be able to get a very large thermal gradient. Ive never gotten to test that theory yet,
 but I have a 2" square peltier laying here.... someday soon maybe. Im think at that point motion speed is then a gradient control
instead of just heat control, it also would give me a pot to turn to increase gradient or lower it. ( Things always work better when you have
a pot to turn.. lol )..seriously though .. a peltier with a hole in it could give a very large gradient , these things get very very cold when you have an
appropriate heat sing and fan on them, and it should be possible to right through a hole in the heatsink and a hole in the peltier.. I think
dragging one across glass may work...
