(or anybody else who might know the answer!)
I'm trying to write a C# (WPF) program with your .net libraries to talk to my KFLOP board. I am using VS2015 and after some fits and starts am able to compile the .net libraries in BuildAllLibs.sln.
I can also build and run all the examples in the PC VCS Examples directory.
I started to build a new application based on the SimpleGCode example and I'm seeing some strange things I'm hoping you can help me out with.
I tried to sandbox the new project and copy all the DLLs to the Debug1 folder as described here https://www.dynomotion.com/forum/archiv ... ncies.html
I am able to connect to the KFLOP board, I can download a C Program to it.
I cannot get KMotion to run at the same time so I can monitor the console output from the KFLOP board like it does with KMotionCNC. This also seens to not work with the SimpleGCode example either. I thought that this might have something to do with the C# application running under the debugger in VS, but I really don't know.
I was able to kind of get around this by adding a callback in my application that writes the console message to a text box.
KM.MessageReceived += new KMotion_dotNet.KMConsoleHandler(Console_Msg_Update);
From this I can tell that I can load a C program into thread 1 and can stop and start it from the application, so I must be getting somethings right.
My biggest problem right now is that when I try to execute a Gcode program I get a message box that says "unable to open file ..... \KMotion
\Data\emc.var
private void btnGCode_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// open a GCode file
var GFile = new OpenFileDialog();
GFile.DefaultExt = ".ngc";
GFile.Filter = "ngc Files (*.ngc)|*.ngc|Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Tap Files (*.tap)|*.tap|GCode (*.gcode)|*.gcode|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
if (GFile.ShowDialog() == true)
{
tbGCodeFile.Text = GFile.FileName;
}
}
private void btnCycleStart_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (ExecutionInProgress == true) return; // if already running then ignore
else
{
ExecutionInProgress = true;
KM.CoordMotion.Abort(); // make sure that everything is cleared
KM.CoordMotion.ClearAbort();
try
{
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.InitializeInterpreter(); <---- I'm fairly certain that this is the call that is failing
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show($"File not found '{ex}'");
}
Set_Fixture_Offset(2, 2, 3, 0); // Set X, Y, Z for G55
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.Interpret(tbGCodeFile.Text); // Execute the File!
}
}
I tried to copy this almost verbatim from your SimpleGCode example - which doesn't give me this error.
I've just started learning WPF for this project so it's very possible (and highly likely) I've made some stupid mistake. I have some experience with windows forms and C#, but I'm not a professional programmer (Professional RF/Analog Hardware designer - but that doesn't seem to help here.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running KMotion435b. (since you always ask)
Thanks for your time!
