Trying to get a program to run..

[men8ifr]

OK I've got to be nearly there

Once I save the axis configurations by pasting into the C program screen from K motion - then save the file what do I do with that file i.e. how is it called before CAM g-Code is ran?

This may be related, I tried to run the G code, file 1 (makes the word dynomotion I think) but it comes up with an error saying axis disabled but from the kmotion axis window 0,1 and 2 are enabled.

I tried deleting the first M03 command (I don't have spindle control) but then comes up with the same error indicating a fault with the 3rd line X,y,z co-ordinates

EDIT >> I got the program to run (first time my mill has ran any code )just by enabling all the axis so the spindle must be mapped to one axis... how do I check the mappings?

Assign the program to a User Button in KMotionCNC. Then push the button to Initialize your system.

You must define which Axes should be in the Coordinate System. The Spindle should not normally be included. See wiki here.

Thanks,

My C Program correctly loads the axis parameters but how do I also enable the axis in the same program, I'm sure I've seen this mentioned but cannot find where cheers.
