Subject: Suggestion for KMotionDLL
Hi Tom,

We made a modification to the DLL in CompileAndLoadCoff() where it accepts a missing source file provided there is a .out file for the target thread.  Not sure if I missed somewhere else that it already allows this, but it works for us anyway.

A few reasons it is useful:
- if CL6X must be used to compile
- if OEMs (like us) want to distribute proprietary stuff object only.
- slight speed improvement for user buttons.

Can't think of much down-side to this, so I submit it as a change request that some others might find useful.

On a related note, we have good results running the KMotionServer on a Raspberry Pi and talking to it over TCP/IP.  Currently, this is only an option for Linux PCs, but I'm thinking of adding a new constructor to the DLL to use winsock, and doing the winsock programming so that even Windows applications can talk to their kflop+R.Pi over Ethernet.  If and when I get that done, would you want to add it as an official feature?  Free open source, of course.

Regards,
SJH

Hi SJH,

You should be already able to just call LoadCoff if you have the file already Compiled.

The TCP/IP interface would be great.  We would like to add it as an included feature.

Thanks

Yes, but I couldn't work out how to do that from KMotionCNC user defined buttons and M codes - unless you can enter a .out file instead of .c (I didn't try that).

OK, that gives me more motivation to do a good job.

Hi SJH,

Oh.  Here is a patch that should allow GCode Interpreter Actions with .out extensions to be loaded only.  Also the changed source files:


Will also be in the next Version.
