Lori Nicolanti Hi Miguel,
While the software installed and runs successfully on my Mac. When I select the gcode file on the PancakeBot and hit play, it doesn't do anything. Please advise.
Thank you,

Lori Nicolanti Thank you! That version installed on my laptop. I am still visiting family so I can't try it out yet, but it installed and is running without any issues.

Lori Nicolanti Thanks for the quick response! I am using macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6. I downloaded the version from http://www.pancakebot.com/download-software. It was the first one labeled: Mac OSX 10.9+ ➤ x64

Miguel Valenzuela PBP files are PancakeBot Painter files holds JSON Information for Pancake Painter to Read. To get the GCODE File, you go to File, Export For Printing, and that takes you to a dialogue box that has settings for the GCODE File. On those settings you can control how the batter is dispensed by designating timing and line thickness.
I recommend starting off with the following settings with some Rule of Thumb (ROT):
Shape Fill Effective Batter Width: 2mm - (ROT-Thicker batter, smaller number)
Smallest Flatten Distance: 2 dv/px (ROT-More Resolution, Smaller Number)
Line End Pre-shutoff distance: 2dv/px (ROT-Thicker Batter, smaller number)
Line Start pump ON wait time: 750ms (ROT-Thicker Batter, larger number)
Line End Pump OFF wait time: 750ms (ROT-Thicker batter, larger number)
Line Fill Options: 3-5 dv/Px
Seconds between bottle/shade changes: 10 seconds
Line Fill Angle (25)
Line Fill Grouping Threshold: 2
The image over the settings in the latest software is backwards, so the lighter lines should actually be darker lines, but the GCODE exports correctly. (Bug to fix)

Miguel Valenzuela Is this on the render for the software? That seems to be bug. I will add this to the report.

Miguel Valenzuela The PancakeBot does not read .pbp files. The PancakeBot reads .GCODE files. This is described in the Quick Start Video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ACYhJzCfaM
You will want to open the .pbp file in the Pancake Painter software and then export the .GCODE file. The reason for the difference is the Pancake Painter Software exports files according to different settings (timing etc.).

Thomas_U sorry - not during the last half year, maybe never ever...
I have never used my PB yet as there are so many open questions here.
Lots of great words on the "about us"-page <http://www.pancakebot.com/about-us> but total silence here. Sad!

Shelly Siebels We're having the same issue. I was able to open the program from a network drive, however, the controls and menu are missing. Any info is appreciated.

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Lisa, I am sorry to hear this. Have you been able to resolve this issue at this point?
If you can, please add this to the issues forum at Github.com/pancakebot so we can add this to our list of things to do on the next version update. If you cannot add this, let me know and I will add it.
Thank you,

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Jaclyn, has the image issue been resolved? Please specify your operating system for us so we can rectify the situation. Also, you can enter this as an issue on Github at github.com/pancakebot

Do you have the latest software? Also, do you have many fills on it? If there are many fills, it can take a while for the algorithm to process.
Send me some specs on your software version, (should be 1.4), your computer (Mac, PC) and even include the PBP File in this attachment.
