Subject: Controlling rapids speed?
1. I know that rapid movements (empty movements) are set it the servo tuning parameters. That is how fast it will move on empty. Can someone tell me if it is possible to control this by potentiometer? While the Program is working I would like to control the rapids with potentiometer. Thank you

2. I sow some picture of KMotionCNC where it has TrackBar on the front interface for controlling the spindle speed. I tried all sort of thinks in KMotionCNC but I can't find that TrackBar . Can you help me out? I would like to have TrackBar like FDO bar to controll the speed of the spindle. Thank you.

Hi easydigisoft,

Regarding:

#1 - KMotionCNC performs the rapids using the Velocity, acceleration, and Jerk uploaded (and cached) at the beginning of a Job.  So this would need to be changed to have things changed on the fly.  See in the source code:

        CoordMotion->RapidParamsDirty=true;

Actually older Versions did not work like this this, they had KFLOP plan the rapids before and after coordinated motions so what you are asking for would have worked.  But the older method  introduced delays and made the motion non-deterministic and non-linear.  Why do you need to do this?

#2 - You will need to install the latest Test Version to have the Spindle Slider,

Regards
TK

Hi easydigisoft,

Yes.  Use KMotion.exe | Config/Flash Screen | New Version to do this.
