Peter:

  It is, but theres nothing in Mach4 to accept it.  Perhaps when Docs are done Ill find a way to respond to a
script asking for such information, but like encoder data, theres no place to send it. Encoder data gets in by back door
of MPG usage. Similarly, output signals can all set a frequency out, but there no way to tell it to do so. We'll see what
capabilities grow over time on the M4 scipting side..

Peter:

 Im afraid there is none as yet. Writing a plugin is at times quite a challenge. , Im glad its all working well,
I'm getting reports form many Darwin users of very good stability, and Ive been using it myself quite a bit, Im quite impressed
with how well it works for me.

  Thanks for the help on the bug..

Hi Peter:

 Thx, I think your description has lead me to the error.

Unfortunately, I dont keep old builds, but I have repaired the latest build, which will proably work
as I dont think the API has changed any structures. So use the plugin in this attachment, no need to
update the driver or anything, just update the plugin and the .sig files and your encoders should
start to work fine.

Thx

Peter:

  Thnks, I will check the code to see if there is an error. Do the encoders read properly in Darinws encoder tab no matter whats enabled?
It will help point to possible driver error or plugin..

thx

Jerry:

 Yes, error -37 means the ID is invalid so you need a replacement.

Hi Racer:

  The -33 is a "File not found" error, so your file is in the wrong spot, or the wrong name.
It should be in

C:\Mach4Hobby\Licenses\DarwinLic.dat

  The Mach4hobby may be Mach4 instead.. but the file should be named as above and placed in the licenses folder.
If it still gives a -33 error, then make sure m4 is up to date as well.

In future guys, I think Ill just ensure Brian has versions appropriate for when they post new Mach4's, so then they can update their web link to an appropriate Darwin. That will keep you guys from having to search here, and if everything works as it should the web version will be up to date with the posted M4.

Thx

Hi Guys:

  This is version 2071 of Darwin, ( I will make darwins version number equal to the Mach4 version numbers..)

No need to upgrade unless you need to, this one reportedly reapres a few license issues, will accept .txt as well for
licenses, and can load plugins from the about menu..
