marktaft do you have a licences for darwin

Bummer.... Thought this was going to be a "post your problems with 2803" thread. I have a ton of them!

just start your own thread

Thanks for the info Bob,

Think i will need to go back to the darwin thread, did not think it would be so complex , replicating what already works in mach3.

When I finally get mach4 working , will be purchasing a licence for M4.

Happy Christmas

I use Mach4 V2803
I use ESS to communicate with my two breakout boards.

When Mach4 ist started and i use other programms i have some trouble.
The keys assigned to Mach4 can't be used in other programms.

best regards

Known issue.  You have to manually disable the keyboard plug-in - click on the keyboard icon in the system tray (lower right corner of your screen).  When you see a red "X" on the icon, the Mach4 keyboard plugin is disabled and cursor keys will work in other programs.  Then re-enable it when you switch back to Mach4.

ALso make sure you aren't hitting the time limits in the unlicensed Mach4 (will halt motion after some amount of time running, I don't remember exactly but like 10 or 15 minutes).

Shameless plug - we offer Mach4Hobby licenses at a discount :-)
