Re: Shizouka ST-N Matchmaker retrofit
The additional DIN rail has already been added. I made up a preliminary list of all the 240V DIN rail mounted bits, and everything might have fitted on the other rails, provided I didn't need much room for low voltage bits (most should be wired direct to the breakout boards), but I figured keeping a...

Re: Tool table
Tom will correct me if needed, but I think it's because you're mixing the KMotionCNC interpreter value, which is what GetMachine returns, and IIRC is the DRO value (aka the position in mm/inches), whereas MoveAtVel is using axis/channel counts. If you're doing this in C in the KFlop, you probably wa...

Re: Tool table
It's been a while since I've looked at the KMotionCNC code, but IIRC as long as you are reading the TWORD in use prior to using SetToolLength(), then the length of the currently active tool will be updated, and the tool table updated as required. ToolID and Slot should remain the same, and only get ...

Re: Shizouka ST-N Matchmaker retrofit
Time for some project/thread resurrection. After the last post, I ended up buying a new CNC lathe so the urgency to get this functional dropped down the list, however having had to contract out a couple jobs, and turn down a few recently, I figure it's about time to get this working, and do somethin...

Re: Denford Cyclone Lathe
PLC code is attached. It's been a few years since I sold this machine, but I think the two required files are Baraffaldi_Main<with date of last edit>, and Baraffaldi_Position. The main contains the code for carrying out the position changes, with the Position simply a subroutine to calculate the pos...

Photos of installed Kogna
Has anybody got any photos of how they've installed a Kogna with IDC breakout boards?
I'm considering it for a machine, which would make use of quite a few of the differential in/outs, and I'm wondering how others have wired them.

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net
Hi Moray, Sounds like good news for you, bad news for us :) Is there a reason you don't just make it public? There's some code/functionality that I don't really want to make public yet. The main bit is I started work on making the main init.c being automatically generated a while ago, and I can't a...

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net
Latest update on this, is I'm 95% happy with my screen designer (I have added buttons to move controls a chosen distance, however I need to split up another function to implement the code). However, I have (probably foolishly!) gained another full time job, along with some more part time work, so my...

Re: idk why lathe changes
Nothing should change without a reason, but to eliminate the possibility of something pointing to an old install, rename the directories. I usually put an 'x' at the end, so that way if anything does happen to still be using an old install, it will break the link and generate an error, and renaming ...

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net
That is all correct except GetUserDataFloat expects the value to be a float not an integer. KFLOP and the PC must agree on what the 32-bit value represents. Either an Integer or the binary image of a float. In this case it is an integer offset into the Gather Buffer so GetUserData would be appropri...
