Hi Tom, I am using the KFLOP board with 2 Kstep boards to control a concrete 3D printer. Everything works great! Now that everything works, I am trying to add a ball valve to shut on/off the flow of concrete (with the help of a relay). How do I use the I/O on the KFLOP to do this ? 1) I don't know w...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. I thought the 'InputChan0' function is to set the appropriate IO channel for the encoders. Since I connected Encoder #0 to JP4 Pin 5 and 6 ( I am using +A and +B outputs of the differential encoder. Is this correct when you have a differential encoder with 4 outputs: +A...

Hi Tom, I used : FPGAW(ENC_NOISE_FILTER_ADD) = ENC_0_3_JP4 + ENC_4_7_JP6 + ENC_NOISE_FILTER_DEFAULT_VAL; in my C program, however, the encoders are not working. The board disconnects from the computer as soon as it runs a few lines of G-code (It works perfectly fine without the encoder connections a...

Hi Tom! Thanks again. Just one last thing. For : Add the following line of code into your Initialization C Program. It needs to be executed once to multiplex the encoders. Where exactly do I initialize the code? is it inside the kmotionCNC software (under the tool setup/ user buttons window? ) And o...

Hi Tom, Thank you for your reply. I am fairly new to configuring the kflop control board so I am not sure what to do with the MuxEncoder.c file. For example, do I have to initialize this file? and if so, how do I do it? Also, since I am using the JP7 and JP5 ports as step/dir outputs to communicate ...

Hi Tom, I had some questions regarding the encoder integration with the KFLOP board. I recently bought and put together the KFLOP motion board with 2 KSTEPs and 8 Steppers (and it works like magic). I was hoping to add the encoder feedback from these motors to the control. What pin configuration do ...
