Thanks Tom.

I certainly will share the screen once I'm done tinkering.

Where does the ScreenValueToJogSpeed.c go? Should this get included in the Init program or is it connected via another means?

Thanks

I've been having fun with the screen editor! I want to add the jog rate entry and watched the video. Wondering where I can find that c program? Here's my first go at a screen...customized for my needs/uses. I'm looking forward to trying it out this afternoon. I'll still probably tweak it but I've be...

Hi Tom- Thanks for the suggestion as this is a good workaround. It seemed like when I set the radius for A axis to 0, it became unstable and began to oscillate, I did fiddle with some other tuning settings as well, so can't be certain. But I did set it back to 1 and it's running fine. Mach 3 didn't ...

I thought it was really odd for the CAM software generated this code...glad you agree. If MadCAM offers no solution, I may explore an alternative, but I own it, like it's relative simplicity for what I want to do and really like that it is a plug-in to Rhino. I think that the code is probably my pro...

I have Kflop and Kanalog on a Lagun knee mill which originally had an Anilam controller. I have retained the analog drives and motors . The feedback to Kflop is from linear scales. I seem to have X, Y and Z working well and added 4th axis. This has a dc servo with a rotary encoder as feedback and th...

This makes absolute sense. I do know there's some backlash on this axis. Though in my desperation to get the axis to repeat, I was adjusting (loosening) the gib. I have snugged it back up and it is doing much better. It's still hunting, but maybe about +/- .0005...which is fine for now. I think I sh...

Hi Tom-

One new development.
I'm now getting significant hunting on the Y (+/- .001" on the indicator and 1 count in Kmotion).
Can you steer me on this one?

Thanks

Well that seemed to fix it! I ran the test program just once, but returned back to 0.0000, as it should.

I'm going to wire the X and Z directly to the Kflop and see how that works for me.

Thanks again!

Hi Tom- Thanks for your help! I think I'll try a test connecting directly to the Kflop and see how that works, but may end up purchasing the line drivers. It is curious that I don't have this problem in X and Z...it seems to be only the Y. If they all were acting up, I would have suspected a problem...

Hi Tom- Yes-KFLOP + Kanalog with analog drives. There is Tach feedback to the drives only. Yes-closing the position loop to Kanalog with the linear scales. Yes- moving back and forth a distance of 8" however the 2 indicators are both at the origination position of move (one dial and one digital) The...
