Subject: Worn Out Initialization Program
Hi Tom,
Okay, I know they don't wear out, but something went "sproing" yesterday and I can't figure it out.

I have a KFLOP/SnapAmp lathe and while I was moving the slide around it stopped moving in one axis. I thought the axis had faulted because it wasn't near a limit, but it was pushing hard. I tried to run the initialization c program in KMotionCNC but it wouldn't zero. I then tried running it using KMotion save, run, download,etc. button but it wouldn't complete. I then tried an older file with a few less items and a different name nad it worked fine. After running it the axis were working as expected. I then went back and tried the first file again, but still no go. It seems almost like it is corrupted, but it re-compiles each time the KMotion routine runs, does it not? Is there a rogue file somewhere that needs to be deleted?

Thanks for your help,
David.

Hi David,

Yes the C programs are re-compiled every time.

I would compare the program that works and the one that doesn't.  WinMerge.org is a great free program for comparing files.

Or add printf statements to determine what in the initialization is not successfully completing

Or post the two programs for us to look at.
