KMotion/KFLOP Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between KMotion and KFLOP?
KFLOP is our newer higher performance and lower cost
DSP board designed for more modular solutions
Where KMotion contains on-board power amps and
on-board Analog IO, KFLOP does not.
- Are there really 4 complete power amps on KMotion?
Yes each contains dual full bridges capable of up to 3 Amps @
55V
- I'm trying to drive a 5V motor with a 5 Volt supply, why
isn't it working?
The motor supplies must be between 12-55Volts (80V for
SnapAmps).
Automatic low voltage protection disables the outputs when the supply
drops below ~ 10 Volts
With Stepper motors it is often desirable to use a higher
supply voltage than the rated voltage.
- Can I have different motor voltages for different motors?
Yes.
- Will the GCode Interpreter
run stand-alone?
No. The RS274 GCode
Interpreter executes on the PC and sends coordinated motion commands to
the KMotion Board.
- What needs to be loaded on the
host computer to send commands to the KMotion Board?
KMotion USB Drivers
KMotionDLL.DLL
And an Application
to
makes calls to the KMotionDLL.DLL
- Does KMotion or KFLOP work with
Mach3?
Yes.
Both. Basic features are supported. Coordinated motion,
Jogging, Homing, Spindle control, Encoder Feedback, and more.
