Hey,
I'm new to Thingworx and I was studding on how to use the CWC extension and got a problem and few questions about it.

Firstly the problem,
1. I'm trying to execute a work instruction created on CWC, I’ve done all steps and when I’m trying to start the work instruction from the execution tab, I’m getting the error "Serial number already started on another station of the same work cell".
I'm the only one using the system and never started any work order.

2. Also when selecting the work station on the plant I’ve created based on the explanation on how to fill the spreadsheet, it show an error that "equipment 'bottling machine 1' is currently in use by .".

Any ideas on where's the problem?

Then to the questions,
1. I've seen on another post here that I need to configure ProductionEventQuantity and WasteEventQuantity values to a work station, there is any way to see that on the UI? All I see on the equipment tree (Configuration: Equipment page) is name, Equipment Type and parent name. There is a way to see more information on the UI?

2. I did a typo when importing from the spreadsheet on equipment type at work center display name and couldn't fix it. It's bugging me, there is a way to fix it? (tried re-import the spreadsheet, change the EquipmentTypeSettings table on the thing PTC.FSU.CORE.GlobalConfiguration.GlobalConfiguration_TG and it didn't change).

3. There's is a few thing that i couldn't find the delete button to do so. When I try to select the work station on the execution page even the disabled ones shows up, and i didn't find a way to delete anything on the equipment tree (Configuration: Equipment page), there's a way to delete something here?

4. If I need to remove the CWC extension from Thingworx can I do it without a clean reinstall?
And when I was installing the CWC I typed the DB from Thingworx (which is wrong I need to create one just for it, I know), do i need to reinstall the Thingworx just to retry to install CWC again? When I tried to redo it detects the older installation but didn't went trough (got an error that i solved by reinstalling the whole thing).

5. My main goal is to create a work instruction to show some of Thingworx capabilities on a product that we are developing here, mainly I'm going to use a Raspberry Pi to get some sensor information and send it to Thingworx (that bit is covered from others documentations and discussions), but I also need to control some guiding lights based on the actual step of the work instruction. So my uncertainty is can I create service or something that goes by the actual step and then send a signal to the raspberry and then control what need to be controlled? Similar to what can be done on Vuforia Studio (write a script that get the actual step and then do something). Or maybe there's a better way to do so?
I've seen an old PTC presentation called X-Factory, something similar to that should fit perfectly on what I'm aiming for. There's anything on that project besides the showcase videos?

A few details about the environment where I'm working on, that I think can have some impact on something:
I'm connecting and creating using the default Administrator login.
I've installed only CWC (trough CWC Clean Installer) and foundation.

I don't usually post here, so I don't know if I should make separated posts for the questions and one for the problem.
