Re: Spindle Interface III

Thanks Muray. I found something in your link that might explain the issue:

"However KMotionDef.h is specific to a particular Version and should not be ever copied or relocated."

I'm pretty sure I copied the old file to the new version.

Re: Spindle Interface III

Hi Tom,
Update
Turns out if I change the FACTOR from .0000417 to .0000149 the spindle plays nice. Why did I have to change the FACTOR?

Spindle Interface III

Hi Tom, While waiting for the new Kstep to come in I decided to upgrade to a newer Windows 10 computer in place of the old Windows 8, 32 bit computer that I have been using for years. I also downloaded to latest Kmotion 5.3.7 Software and flashed the Kflop. Now I''m back to an old problem. The spind...

Fried KStep?

Hi Tom, i had to move some of the cabling on my CNC machine and wired A+ to B+ and A- to B- on J5, my Z axis. When I powered up, the Z axis didn't work obviously. When I found the wiring error I rewired to fix the problem but the Z Axis still didn't work. There are zero volts between A+ to A- and B+...

HI Tom,
That was it. The new DLL file fixed the rubber band effect I was having and the drop down is working!!

Re: Using a Message Input Box

Hi Tom, The patch was a bust. When I loaded the patch (KmotionCNC.exe) my machine started behaving strangely. If I raised the Z axis as soon as I release the up arrow the Z would turn around and return to where it was before I pressed the up arrow. When I pressed the up arrow then the left arrow dis...

Re: Zeroing a Rotary Axis

Hi Tom, Thanks for the info. I got my rotary axis and positioning working. The ToolTableSetDebug.c helped a lot. I did have trouble trying to do: GetMachine(&Machinez); I finally realized I needed to use: GetMachine(&Machinex, &Machiney, &Machinez, &Machinea, &Machineb, &Machinec); My program is wor...

Zeroing a Rotary Axis

Hi Tom, I've been using my rotary axis and it's working pretty well. However, it's very manual to zero the Z Axis so I tried to write a couple of C programs. One to move to the X,Y,Z location of the rotary axis at the start and one to move to a tool change location, then to the touch plate to rezero...
