When I connect to my machine I get the message Invalid Platform Code after the flash has been erased and the mint downloaded.

This usually occurs when you have selected the wrong machine.
Denford machines have different hardware and firmware types which mean the control software MUST have the correct machine type selected in order to send the correct Mint file (this is the programmable Logic)

Check the machine type displayed at the top of the VR Milling screen. This should match the machine type printed on the machine serial number label. If not select "SETUP" "Machine" from the menu and select the correct machine. :!: Note You will have to exit the machine connection first!
