Hi GY,

We found a place where KFLOP could hang waiting on USB.  Please try this Firmware patch for KFLOP:

http://dynomotion.com/Software/Patch/FixKFLOP_Firmware_PowerUPRS232_hangonUSB_V434d/DSPKFLOP.out

BTW Its not recommended to apply full +5V to the KFLOP inputs.  Please use 3.3V instead or a series resistor (1K).

Please let us know if this resolves the issue.

Regards

TK

 

 Hi all,

I have an application which runs in stand alone. When I power up the Kflop and I am in a condition where RS232 command are enable, and the USB cable is not connected : Kflop doesn't responce to any command. If I just connect my usb cable and KMotion.exe is open, then the kflop responce to my RS232 command.

For example, if I flash this code in a thread which launch on power up:

#include "KMotionDef.h"

main()

{

EnableRS232Cmds(RS232_BAUD_38400);

DoRS232Cmds = TRUE;

for(;;)

{

if(ReadBit(4)==0)

{

DoRS232Cmds = FALSE;

}

}

}

1- I power up with Bit 4 to 5V. The Kflop doesnt responce.

2- I connect the USB cable and open Kmotion. the following message pops up :

Kmotion present but not responding
Correct problem and restart application

I guess this message pops because I'm in rs232 command mode so Kmotion doesn't reesponce to USB commands. 

3- Now the Rs232 commands works fine...

Does anyone is eable to use RS232 on power up without connecting USB cable ? 

Thanks in advance !

 Hi TK,

I placed this DSPKFLOP.out in the DSP_FLOP file and then updated with Flash -> New Version. Now I can't even connect to KMotion.exe, it connect and disconnect repeatedly and when I try to flash the old version, the following messages pop : 

Can't Connect to KMotion Board #0

 then

Kmotion not found on USB Location 00000013

Unable to open device

Have I missed something ?

Hi GY,

Thanks for taking time to post back.

Hi TK,

I reinstalled KMotion and it works fine. I'm now on the version 4.33d and I can power up on RS232 :) 

Thanks again for the fast support!

Best regards,

GY

Hi GY,

Strange. What Version of KMotion were you using?

Have you tried Flash Recovery?

Regards
