ADD 2 more axis to KMotionCNC interface

[AndreyP]

KMotionCNC shows 6 axis on the interface. We are using 8 axis so is there a way to add the other 2 axis under the axis fields?

Hi Andrey,

KMotionCNC doesn't currently have DROs and Jog buttons for the UV axes. You could add the functionality with the KMotion Screen Editor for a basic DRO Display but its behavior wouldn't be exactly the same as the others (changing colors depending on modes and so forth). Otherwise you would need to change the KMotionCNC source code (this would be significant effort depending on your skill set and knowledge of MFC).

Tom,

Is there documentation somewhere to show how to do this? I also want to add U,V to the DRO fields but can't figure out how to add things in the screen editor, only hide/show, resize, etc.

Hi a_i_p,

You would use an existing Label as a DROLabel. Here is an example of how to display a Rate in a DRO Label. Your case would be similar but you would display the U Position.
