Subject: newy in Kplof
Hy to all, my name is Santiago, I´m new in Kflop,I´m making a retrofit in my 4 Axis mill and  I bougt a Kflop.
 
 
I have reed a lot,but or I miss something or i did not understand well. The thing is that I don´t know how I have to configure each axix, I mean, How do I have to say Kflop that my “X” axis in my mill is in Axis chanel O in Kflop and step+ is conected in pin  15 of Jp7 and dir+ in pin 16 Jp7, and dir- and step- is in Jp4 pin 13?
 
Regards Santiago

Hi Santiago,

To define which GCode Axis (XYZA) corresponds to which KFLOP Axis Channel, use the DefineCoordSystem().  Normal mapping would be:
DefineCoordSystem(0,1,2,3);

It is important to understand that the KFLOP Step/Dir Generators are basically wired to fixed pins.  Step/Dir Generator #0 Step is wired to JP7 pin 15 and Dir is wired to JP7 pin 16.  You need to tell us the input specifications for your drives.  Most Drives have +5V opto couplers.  If that is the case wire the + signals to KFLOP +5V (ie JP7 pin 24).  And the - signals to the appropriate pins.  Caution: if your Drives are not +5V Optos do not wire like this or you may damage your drive or KFLOP.

You must the tell each Axis channel which Step/Dir Generator to use.  So for KFLOP Axis #0 set the OutputChan to #0.  (this will have Step/Dir Generator #0 drive in open collector mode for +5V optos)

HTH
