Mach4 General Discussion / Need Help with Darwin and Spindle DRO

« on: December 09, 2014, 07:58:59 AM »

Hello all,
 Iv'e been trying to get get a spindle RPM DRO working for awhile with Darwin. on the diagnostic tab you can see the index led flash when the spindle is running. but I can not figure out how to turn that pulse into a DRO value on the screen. if you open diagnostic logging you can also see the signal change from 1 to 0 continuously. so at this point is this even possible to do?

Hello kjwalters,
  Did you check to see if there is an old license file in the Mach3 folder? you might have to delete that first if it says it's licensed to someone else. and then put your new license file in.

Hey Art,
   Got it figured out when they send a new license the name is "parallel-port-legacy-plugin-for-mach4+(your pc id).txt" so I changed the name of the file to DarwinLic.dat and now it works. Thanks

Hey Art,
  When I downloaded a new license file it was a .txt file. both the Mach4 and Darwin license I changed them to .dat file extension and put them in the license folder in Mach4. Then I checked Mach4 and it says it is licensed. But when I open the static gui it has a message in the history that says "Darwin license has failed with -33. I tried the latest Mach4 2067 and get the same result. I didn't uninstall the previous version of Mach4 and installed it over the other version so I will try that.

Hey Art,
   With 2058 it says "Darwin license has failed with -33." if that helps any.

Hello Art,
 Got my license changed and Mach4 now shows 2030 licensed. I tried Darwin 2030, 2035, and 2038 and none of the inputs and outputs work. if I disconect the charge pump I can jog both axises.

Art,
 Thanks for the info. I changed some hardware but didn't get my license changed yet for the new pc id I have now. so I'll get that straightened out first.

"Where did you get Darwin 2030?

Peter"

If you go to downloads and updates and then the Mach4 tab it has Mach4 Hobby R1.2030 and Mach4 Parallel Port Plugin V1.2030

Hey Art,
  Hope ya had a great trip. I installed Mach4 2030 and Darwin 2030 and when I hit the enable button it doesn't stay enabled and I get a message in the history that says : Darwin Buffer Error - Motion out of Bounds.  I'm using windows XP
