[NOELNOG]

thanks, it's exactlly what i need to perform straight line to home, what i did in KfloptoPCGcode.c ,i set MDI("G0Z0")
MDI("G04P1M05X0Y0")
now asigned my Park button to this c.ptrogram and it did work.

Great. You might want to consider adding G53s in case there are any GCode Offsets in play.

what command is used for disable buttons while the G code is running, just like the jog buttons when G code running they turn off.?

[TomKerekes]

There isn't any command for that. Sometimes it desirable for User Buttons to be pressed during a Job.

There is a flag in KFLOP JOB_ACTIVE that you can test if a Job is running. If true, your button programs might do nothing and just return without doing anything.

I suppose you could use a Screen Editor SubScript to change the color of selected buttons and change their Action to do nothing. It may only work with the new Screen Script Buttons and not the legacy User Buttons.

Hi Tom

i am trying to figure it out, why when start G code it run few lines then it stop like pause, the green arrow pointing g code lines turns red, i have to press cycle start again to keep going, this happen in the first lines before get th G01

thanks

In order to help we would need to know the details. What is the GCode? Any error messages on Console Screen? What programs do you have running?

Tom

I fond that, the issue was in my postprocessor, i am using the mach 3/4 ATC, the problem is the autoamtic tool changer command M6T[#], because there is not a C. program configurated for it yet, so i assume the Gcode stops waiting for the signal from ATC sensor, what i did for now just commented that command, now is running ok.

an other question is, i have 19 drill bits on my machine, and lot more accesories like dust shoe, orient spindle, pop up pins, etc. if kmotion has only 20 M functions M100-M119, what is the solution for control the rest of the tools,


thanks

You can pass parameters to MCodes in order for a single MCode to perform multiple operations. See here.

Hi Tom

what should be the state of the Kanalog board LED?,right now it's off and only blinks once when power up, it that the right way it should work or i am missing something?

thanks

[TomKerekes]

The Kanalog Enable LED should come on and remain on. There is a surge of current from the 5V power supply when Kanalog is enabled as the 5V to +/-15V generator is enabled. There should be an external power supply with at least 2A of current capability.
