Hi Tom, I am almost done the new layout, switched to a new resolution of approx 1000 *1200 so that the layout fits well on 1080 resolutions with room to spare on the screen for Kmotion Console, file explorer etc. Tried to take inspiration from real life CNC operator interfaces. I think I like the st...

Hi Tom, thanks for the kind words, I will definitely post an update with something you and others can try out ASAP. I chose a resolution (I think), of 1080 tall by 1600 wide. Rationale was that most people have at least a 1920x1080 monitor. I need to update to closer to 1000 pixel tall since taskbar...

Screenshot 2025-07-07 093246.jpg Hoping to get some feedback on a custom screen I created for KmotionCNC. I started this as a way to see if I could make a dark mode/screen, as well as improve the overall look and clarity of the software. This was an earlier dark mode background that i was working w...

Hi Amit, I think the problem is in your gcode. I opened up the gcode file and I can see that the circle is not using IJK arcs but linear segments. Looks like the length of the segments matches the marks you are seeing: https://i.imgur.com/4vfORbd.jpeg If you can, switch to arcs when cutting a circle...

you could certainly use the "move" command. If you think it should be 100 cts/inch, send that and see if it actually is. why not just use the MDI in kmotion CNC?

I think the "linear" command can command the machine to move in actual units with the trajectory planner but I could be wrong

https://imgur.com/gallery/Gf8cfIv In case you are curious, here are some renderings of the gantry design where you can see the second "head" I intend to use for automation tasks. The robot head has a total of 4 axis (the gripper can rotate). The machining head and dual drive gantry total 5 axis. I ...

Hi Tom, I did some testing on my end and here is what I have found: 1. create a second installation of KMOTION in C://Kmotion434_ALT/ 2. create 2 shortcuts to kmotionCNC.exe each with a seperate usb identifier (C:\KMotion434\KMotion\Release\KMotionCNC.exe 0x19 etc..) Unfortunately I am only able to ...

Hi Tom, that makes sense and is very helpful. Is there a way to launch two instances of KMOTIONCNC, one for each board? I know this is possible with kmotion.exe but I am not sure about the CNC interface. Having a second interface with jogs and DRO's would give a lot of functionality (probably with a...

Hi Tom, hope you are doing well. I have an application where I would like to control a 5 axis gantry CNC as well as a number of linear actuators used for automation, loading etc. 6 axis channels would be used for coordinated motion on XYZAB, controlled through kmotionCNC. To be clear, the additional...
