I'm a total newb when it comes to programming, so please bear with me. I'm planning to purchase a KFLOP to install on a CNC mill that should arrive in about a month. I thought I'd get a jump on things by starting to learn C or C++ bascics. I notice references to C but not to C++ on the Dynomotion website. Does it matter whether I focus on learning C or C++? Thanks for your input.

A mechanism to populate McodeActions has not been implemented yet.  You can use the UserCallback though to execute commands during interpretation.

Oops.... That was supposed to be attached to Tom's response to Kevin's MCodeAction query..

Hi Curtis,
 
To program things like Board initialization, Homing, and Spindle control you will need to write/modify some C that will run in KFLOP.  So you should learn C.  If you haven't already you can download our software, run the KMotion.exe program and use the C Programs Screen to look at some examples.  You can edit and compile programs but you can not run them without a KFLOP.
 
There are lots of C Language references on the web. Here are a few:

Our KMotionCNC program that runs on the PC is written in C++.  Unless you wish to modify it you will not need to learn C++.
 
Regards
TK
