Tom, I will be running g code that does not include the feed rate in the file. So, I need to be able to set feed rate before running the file in the VB app. How can I easily set this? Do I need to use the SetFeedRate in gcodeinterpreter.dll? I was not able to add this as a reference in my VB app.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
Normally feed rate is specified in the GCode. Internally the parameter is in the setup parameters of the Interpreter as "feed_rate" but this is not currently exposed to the .NET interface. We've add this and will be in the next Test Version as KM_Interpreter_SetupParams.FeedRate. If you want a patch to allow access we can provide it.
Otherwise a workaround would be to execute a 1 line GCode file with an F command.
Regards
TK

Tom, great...please send me a patch for setting the feed rate.
Before I started on the VB app, I was testing KMotionCNC and setting feed rate via the command line that is provided.
