Hi Tom, My KFLOP will no longer connect to its PC. The PC does not recognise it on power up, or on disconnect & reconnect (no sign on jingle from the PC and neither KMotion or KmotionCNC can connect to it). The main 5V power supply died quietly for some unknown reason. Now that I have replaced it, t...

Hi Tom,

Yeah - that was it! I guess I must have innocently changed Y to 0 because it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the help. It would have taken me a VERY long time to find that one!

Hi Tom, Thanks very much for your advice and patience. That problem is now sorted! My ignorance is showing again. I'm trying to get it to run GCode now and KMotionCNC is giving me an error on about the simplest program I can write, as shown below. 210204 problem 1.png I can jog the axes from the KMC...

Hi Tom, Thanks very much for your help with the previous issue. I'm finally getting back to this again and having a problem I'd appreciate some help with please. I have now got my axes jogging correctly from the KMotionCNC Jog buttons, and so I'm trying to get an axis homing routine for X & Z set up...

Hi Tom, I'm needing some help with a C program please. The object of this is to increase my knowledge of using the C programs to control the machine. I realise that the answer to my question is probably quite simple, but I cannot work it out yet. I have powered the machine up and have downloaded the...

Hi Moray, Thanks very much for the printing explanation. That's quite different from what I got from the Internet, so no wonder it didn't work! Now to answer some of your questions. What speed setting are you changing? The one shown here. SHIFTc1.png I realised what MaxOutput was about. That's how I...

Thanks very much guys. I will try tuning etc today and see how that goes. Would you please give me the correct syntax to print out the value of a variable on the Console screen? I see that the homing program prints some text messages on the screen, but I haven't been able to get it to print variable...

Thanks Moray, I understand now about the Halt button only stopping the C program and that commands already sent cannot be recalled. All good, now that I know. As I said previously, I'm currently trying to become familiar with how the whole C program thing operates. Thanks also for showing me your in...

Hi Tom, I'm currently trying to become familiar with the C Program scenario but am having some issues. Please see the attached screenshot. I'm running the SimpleHomeIndexFunctionTest in KMotion. It is as original except for a few minor changes I have made:- 1. Remmed out the X & Y sections so I only...

Ok. Thanks Tom. I had the Opto inputs earmarked for other operator panel type switches. I'm now tossing up between providing pulldowns to a negative voltage on the JP2 inputs, and 'DACing' some of the other switch inputs onto a JP6 ADC input to free up some more Opto ins. I presume that ADC input co...
