Re: Kflop Input

Thanks, I found KmotionX and the Github. I will see if I can load it onto my BeagleBone board. They have an installation for the Raspberry Pi which might be similar. I will need a custom interface board to connect everything together as I want to keep the existing output board and all the I/O connec...

Apparently all the G-code interpreter and motion trajectory calculations are done on the PC, correct? The DSP_KFLOP and DSP_KMotion PC2.c files list the commands available. Presumably I can write my ow...
