Re: Resurrecting an old project

Thanks Tom

Problem solved it was due to using a dual power supply 5v and 24v.
Now using individual supplies and all seems well.

Re: Resurrecting an old project

Hi Tom

Yep Kflop rebooted relay dropped out.

Going to try a separate 5v power supply incase there is a drop in 5v when relay triggers. (Its not visible on meter and I don't have my scope handy)

Thanks Tom

That's it working on the x axis. Just need to add the other axis's again.
I had edited program to home only the x axis and noticed the missing semicolon and comma.

Re: Resurrecting an old project

Hi Tom, I was unable to find the original posts in the forum so this has turned out to be a new setup using windows 10 as the old PC would not come back to life.

Re: Resurrecting an old project

Hi Tom

Is there any way in finding my old forum posts from September October 2010 so that I can figure out my old settings?

Resurrecting an old project

Hi Tom

I have decided to complete a part built router I started nearly 10 years ago using kflop & Kanalogue running Parker drives and servo's on kflop v4.22.
Will there be any problems upgrading to the latest firmware?
