Full Install file that runs on Mac?

Troubleshooting
1

First time Maslow user here. I got mine set up and it worked just great with callibration and a test file or two. Now I’ve got a more complex file that I tried to run, and it stopped after six inches of cutting and won’t respond. No web page, no blinking blue light from the board, either. The other LED’s seem to be on, but the amber ones don’t blink anymore either.

I saw on this post that there is a reset file

Cannot get WiFi to work - #2 by bar

running the “Full Install.bat” script with the board plugged in with a USB cable should reset everything to factory settings

Then I found this post that says I just have to download the full install.bat file and run it from my computer. That’s where I hit the wall. I don’t have any Windows machines here and my Mac laptop doesn’t want to run a .bat file. Any help here?

To fully reset everything to factory settings download the win64.zip folder from the releases page 1, and then unzip the folder.

Plug in Maslow so it has power and then connect a USB cord from Maslow to your computer.

Double click on the full_install.bat in the folder you downloaded and it will re-install everything on the machine back to exactly how it starts out. Hopefully that will get things back to how they were before.

I run mine on a PC, so I can’t say anything specifically to Apple, but do you need a full reset? If there’s no LEDs or any activity at all, that sounds less like a computer issue and more like a power issue, a board issue, or possibly both.

I know this may sound a bit dumb, but I would first double check your power cord. I had mine keep shutting down mid-cut whenever the M4 was trying to make some cuts far on the left. It turns out that my power cord was getting stuck on a nearby table and it was coming slightly disconnected in the middle of the cord where the cord goes into the converter brick causing the M4 to lose power and stop. If it’s definitely getting power, then you may have a faulty board.

I’ll definitely review the power cord setup once I get the thing to wake up and listen to me again. Thanks for the suggestion. -e

No blinking blue light leads me to think that maybe it is creating a “Maslow” wifi network, do you see any network like that?
