Subject: Getting board type
Hi Tom,

I found a case where my code is getting an unexpected result and I wanted to see if it is a bug, or I am missing something.  I'm using KMotion_DotNet, KMotion 4.31f. 

To test, I do the following:

* Unplug the kflop
* kmcontroller = new KMotion_dotNet.KM_Controller()
* Plug in kflop, wait a few seconds 
* connected = kmcontroller.CheckConnected(); // returns true
* boardtype = kmcontroller.BoardType; // returns 0 - But I think it should return 2

I am checking board type as part of the initialization routine of checking board type, serial number (for a licensing check) and firmware version (to update firmware).  I found a workaround, but it seems like this code should work.

Regards,

Toby

Hi Toby,

BoardType is a property that is determined at the time the KM_Controller object is created.  In your scenario no board was connected at that time so the property is unknown.

There is a function GetBoardType() which will perform a new test, but it is declared private.  We changed to public for the next version.

Thanks
TK

Awesome, I guess I should have checked the code myself.  I’ll just make it public in my local version, until we update to a new version of KMotion.

 

Thanks,

Toby
