Hi Tom, I have a Glass Scale connected to JP5 PIN1 & PIN2 when I go to Kmotion AXIS screen I see that #4 counts up and counts down When I go to KmotionCNC and look at the displays , there is n change. They stay at 0. I am sure that I am missing something but I am lost.
Do I need to do something with this DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,-1); ?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Steve,
JP5 pin1 & pin2 are inputs for Encoder Input #4. By default KFLOP configures Axis #4 to use Input #4. This is why you see Axis #4 Position change with encoder movement. But in your case it seems you are using KFLOP Axes #0, #1, #2. So configure one of those to use Encoder input #4.
Additionally the KMotionCNC DRO's normally display the commanded position (not the measured encoder positions). So make sure KMotionCNC | Tool Setup | Trajectory Planner | Display Encoders is checked.

Hi Tom.
I have axis 0,1,2 They are for X, Y, Z The Z axis is on my quill. The Quill is under power and configured as the Z Axis.
The Knee of my mill is not powered.(strictly manual) I do however have a Glass scale on the knee and would like to be able to display it's position on the screen. (for reference only) Can this be done?
Thanks
.....Steve

Hi Steve,
I believe if you configure your system as a 4 Axes system with
DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,3);
your knee being Axis A. Configure Axis A as Encoder Input and No Output. Allow infinite following error. It might do as you desire.
