By the way ...

 On this version I have confirmed by scope the PWM at 50hz from power 0 - 100% , the frequency outputs for spindleor general output as accruate to the
entered setting. Other then the oddity that you have to enter 1/2 base required into the pwm freq, all seems well.
  Ive been foole don the meory loss before , so please let me know if you lose your motors again, Ive run over 25 times with no loss so it looks
good.

Hi Art:

Should the new Darwin 12a show up as a different version in the water fall display page? (old one 1.09 1.08) ?

Sage:

 You should see 1.1 and 1.08. The 1.1 comes from replacing the darwin.dll in the Mach4 folder, and the 1.08 is the driver itself..

Art

Sage:

  I double checked to be sure, and the dll is out of date slightly. the only change is some text on the outputs tab to warn
a user to use 1/2f for PWM base setting. Other than that function should be the same. Ill post new one here but updating
probably isnt necessary till next time..

Dunno if that link works or not..

link works,it looks very fast I will test new release of Darwin in a couple of hour's. I still have problem with macros I have to delete M3, M4, M5 before i can get the spindle to run from code or MDI.

Thats very strange. I dont have to delete anything, but I do need to set a S word.. Defaults to zero..

Your using PWM right?

Hey Art any ideas why on the Darwin configuration I can't type the letter "B"?

yes pwm if I type M3S5000 or what ever into mdi it does not work same goes for if its in a gcode no workey.
but button screen works.
I have removed macros i can use mdi and gcode to turn spindle on and screen button but no speed change its still just on or off.

Dan:

   Ahh, Ive been using the button. Ill check M3's and see why it wont work..

Letter B wont type? --- Ill check it out..
