    I connected my mac-book pro to the OB Control with no issues, and can run files with no problem. I decided to connect my 1515 to my Imac desktop and OB Control will not initiate the gcode file. I can connect and jog/home the machine just fine, but when I run a file it just stalls with no response. I tried resetting the computer and the software, but no luck. What could be the issue?

    CONTROL allowed through the local Mac firewall? Jogs = websocket, Run Jobs = http post (Websockets has a size limit, cannot use it to transfer large gcode files between frontend and backend)

    Hi Peter,
    What is the solution, to increase the websocket size limit?

    No, I am just telling you a little about what's under the hood. The real question was:

    MacOS versions the same?
    CONTROL versions the same?
    No clues in Serial Terminal log?

    Solution: I had a software registration issue on the other computer. Meshcam would not produce a printable file until I registered both computers. Thanks for the help!
