Subject: Backlash not enabling
All my motion seems correct sending GCodes to the Kmotion.net interpreter but it doesn't appear to be honoring the backlash settings.

I believe I'm setting everything properly programmatically at startup as all the other parameters are taking effect....but enabling/disabling backlash seems to have no effect. Here is a slice of the code I am using to set backlash settings:

Controller.GetAxis(X_Axis_ID,"").TuningParams.BacklashMode = BacklashMode_Enum.BACKLASH_LINEAR 'This is an integer 1
Controller.GetAxis(X_Axis_ID,"").TuningParams.BacklashAmount=.0032
Controller.GetAxis(X_Axis_ID,"").TuningParams.BacklashRate =0
         
Does backlash need to be enabled anywhere else to operate?

The BacklashAmount is in Steps or Counts so 0.0032 would be almost nothing.  You will also need a non-zero rate of application.  See:

That was it....I was thinking that because the BacklashAmount was a floating point value it was using Inches/mm as units. Thanks for the solution!

Hi Sam,
 
I hope this is not too intusive question, but are you considering publishing your project?

Not intrusive at all, Tapio.
I'm not considering publishing it. I've written a lot of software over the years, for my own use and the business I'm in nd one important lesson I've learned is that it's a lot easier to support if I only have one customer ;)

Although I'm more than happy to answer anything that would help you with a project along the way. I've been using my app for a few weeks now as I work the bugs out and will probably publish some basic info on the journey soon.
