Tom,

In a previous post you mentioned that I can run a program in KMotionCNC by pointing to the ".out" file rather than the ".c" program. I have tried to do this this but I get an error that KMotion doesnt recognize the ".out" file format.

If I understood correctly, doing this would save time as KMotion wouldnt have to recompile the program while the G-Code waits? I have 4 user C programs at the beginning of my program, they lag about 2 seconds to execute before the G code starts cutting. I am hoping to reduce this time as much as I can.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

What Version are you running?

That feature didn't make it into V4.33.  It is in Test Version 4.34a.  Or there is a patch that should be compatible with V4.33 located here:

But I'd be surprised if the Compile time would make that much difference.

TK

Tom,

I have 15 machines running 4.33q. Do you think 4.34a would be safe to launch into production? Would I be better off to wait a few more revisions?

Thanks,

Scott
