    I currently have Control v1.0.215 installed and running, but my OB CAM doesn't recognize it and can't transfer over toolpaths. Is this a problem others are seeing? Or am I doing something wrong? I downloaded the new driver for Control so it recognizes my BlackBox.

    Maybe worth noting that I'm using a Mac.

    Use the Save Gcode button next to generate gcode

    For transfer to work
    - Must be latest version (215 is correct at the time of the post)
    - CONTROL must be allowed through local firewall
    - PC has to be able to DNS lookups (mymachine.openbuilds.com) (ie needs internet access)

    Ahhh that's where the save gcode button is! I'll do that in the meantime until I can figure out how to make the connect function start working again.

    It worked for me with multiple revs before in the past, so not sure why it chose now to start not working. I'll keep messing with it. Maybe it'll fix itself when the next rev comes out.
