PlayClaw 4, Build 2345. I've attached the log file, but I'm not even sure I have it all set up correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the help. We're making progress. Build 2600 worked initially, but after I rebooted the computer PlayClaw does not start with Windows and when I click on the executable, it says "One copy of PlayClaw is running already". Despite this message, the PlayClaw icon is not on my toolbar and I cannot find it under processes or services. Any ideas?

Turn off the automatic loading PlayClaw with Windows.
AmbiBox automatically load PlayClaw.

Once again thanks for all your help. I appreciate your responsiveness in getting my setup to work. I turned off the "Load with windows" option in PlayClaw. It still gives me the same "One copy of PlayClaw is running already" error when I start AmbiBox, so there's something still trying to launch PlayClaw twice. If I quit AmbiBox I can launch PlayClaw without the error. I tried uninstalling PlayClaw, deleting every reference to it in my registry, then reinstalling Ambibox and PlayClaw and trying again. After reinstalling PlayClaw, I did not run it. I launched AmbiBox and got the same error message that PlayClaw was already running. Any thoughts?

Make a video from the screen:
1. Set mode in AmbiBox: capture screen PlayClaw
2. Disable autostart AmbiBox and PlayClaw.
3. Reboot PC
(Start recording the video from the screen)
4. Run AmbiBox.
(The problem exists?)


(no video)
1. Set mode in AmbiBox: capture screen PlayClaw
2. Disable autostart PlayClaw.
3. Set autostart AmbiBox.
3. Reboot PC
(Ambibox start automatically)

I wasn't able to fully follow the first instructions since I can't start a recording without first launching PlayClaw. Once I launched PlayClaw and then attempted to launch AmbiBox I got the same error.
For the second set of instructions I got the "One copy of PlayClaw is already running" error upon Windows startup. Neither option resulted in working LEDs.

No need to manually run PlayClaw.
Follow strictly the instructions.

Ok. I turned them both off auto-start, rebooted and tried again. When I run Ambibox by itself, with PlayClaw not running whatsoever I still get the error "One copy of PlayClaw is running already". I've attached the detailed log for the time period when I started AmbiBox.

Does this software only work with the Arduino Uno, or will it also work with the Leonardo?

The Arduino Leonardo uses native USB to communicate. Will that not work?
