Hi, I got the most recent version of Maxwell (1.4.1 for OSx) a few days ago, and am unable to get it to connect to my LaserDock. I have a Mac. Are there any instructions on how to help Maxwell find my Laserdock? I downloaded the two JSON files (the Getting Started Presets) but don't understand what I am supposed to do with these files. Wondering if that is the issue.

THANKS

On the Mac, everything is simply just plug-n-play. There is no additional software you have to install other than Maxwell.

But just to be clear, here are the steps:

Connect LaserDock to a USB port on your Mac
Start Maxwell
Choose "LaserDock" from the DAC TYPE dropdown in the Laser section of Maxwell (lower right corner).

The DAC ID should report a non-zero number, and the LED to the right of DAC ID label should light up. If this doesn't happen, follow the steps above and post the results from the "Max Console" : Menu->Window->Max Console

Here is a screenshot of what the Laser section should look like:
