Re: Help! PWM 0-10V.

Hi Lafayette,

You would need the specification for the PWM to Analog converter board. Also the specification for whatever you will be using to drive the Spindle motor.

Re: CheckDone() not returning true after move completion

Hi mekanisms, I'm not aware of any such issue. Here are some thoughts and possibilities: #1 - maybe a bug in your code corrupting something? #2 - are multiple Threads commanding motion? Commanding two moves at the same time from different Threads could corrupt things. #3 - commanding a MoveExp inste...

Re: Graver on KFlop

Hi Al4nse,

G1 moves should not cause a stop unless there is a sharp angle (> Break Angle). That is how curved paths consisting of many short segments are used to cut at a continuous feedrate.

Re: Adding spindle speed in KMotionCNC

I just noticed that in my KFlop folder there are files with the .out extension that may indicate which thread they were flashed to, for example K2_Home(2).out. Are these files created when the C programs are compiled, and do the numbers in parentheses indicate the thread number? If so, I've never c...

Re: Adding spindle speed in KMotionCNC

There are usually several. Maybe a K2_init.c in Thread 1 and a K2MC_Driver.c in Thread 7. Plus maybe a Spindle program? There might also be some configuration flashed into KFLOP Persist variables that those programs use. You might read these: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/k2cnc/270408-software.html ...

Re: Graver on KFlop

It’s possible to add MCodes within the GCode to switch the Laser on/off at precise positions without stopping the motion. See:

Maybe that would work for you.

How many Engravers do you intend to build?

Re: Adding spindle speed in KMotionCNC

It is likely K2CNC flashed some User Programs. There are some cnczone.com Threads regarding this. You might obtain another KFLOP to experiment with so if it doesn’t work out you still have the original to go back to. Also it would be good to know how your system is set up in case anything ever fails.

Re: Adding spindle speed in KMotionCNC

Hi amowry,

That Version is ~5 years old and before the SSO Slider was added.

Please upgrade to the current Test Version 4.34j. See:

Re: Graver on KFlop

Hi Al4nse, I don't see how GCode introduces any limitations. I could see how it might not be convenient. I suppose you might be expecting something like dxf input or fonts or a Windows's Printer Driver? These would be major software tasks. Could you be more specific what you mean? How many systems w...
