Jog buttons reversed in 5.4.3?

[jpbarad7]

Tom,

Custom screen with Style:2 jog controls (fast/slow arrow pairs). Upgraded 5.4.0 → 5.4.3, config carried over identical. On X/Y the "Jog Fast" control now moves slower than the "Jog" control; Z/C ordering is correct but both slower than 5.4.0. m_JogSlowPercent=25, jog speeds 0.3/0.3/0.08/…/0.4. What changed in Style:2 jog-control / Slow% handling?

Thanks.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes you are correct. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Bug regarding Jog Button’s Speed introduced in Version 5.4.2. Speed is sent to KFLOP/Kogna as a decimal counts/sec. Last character of speed was clipped off. Depending on speed, resolution, and percent speed if the product was a whole number without decimal point or decimals the dropped character would result in a speed reduction of 10X. e.g. 1234 would send 123. However, for speeds with decimals the speed would be only slightly wrong. E.g. 1234.1234 would send 1234.123. Prior to 5.4.2 numbers were formatted always with 6 decimals so the existing error was not significant. 5.4.2 formats with only the necessary decimals or exponential notation if necessary.

Here is a patch for Version 5.4.3. Remove .txt suffix and copy to the \KMotion\Release folder.
KMotionCNC.exe

Please test and let us know if it resolves the problem if you have time.

Hi Tom.

You're very welcome.

Sorry for my ignorance, but can you provide instructions on how to download or save this file?

Thank you.

Hi Jim,

Sorry I added .txt thinking it might cause less problem. You should be able to right click the link and select Save link as. Then rename to remove the .txt so it will be a .exe. Then copy to \KMotion\Release. When running it Windows might detect it was a download and give you a warning. In that case click more info and run anyway.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I was able to save it as instructed, but when I try to open it, I get this error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
Click OK to close the application.

I'm running Windows 11.

Tom,

I have a 64 bit machine. I think the fix you sent was for 32 - I should have figured that out when you said to copy it into the release folder, instead of release64. I am able to load it from the release folder and the jog buttons work correctly now.

If you have a patch for 64 bit, I would appreciate it.

Sorry again for the trouble.

Jim

Hi Jim,

You can run 32 bit programs on 64-bit Machines. But this should be the 64-bit version. Copy to the \KMotion\Release64 folder.

KMotionCNC.exe

Tom,

I am getting an 'This app can't run on your PC' with the 64-bit version patch.

I will run the 32-bit version - it seems to be working well.

Just wanted you to know in case anyone else asked.

Thanks again.

Jim
