Customize KMotionCNC
KMotionCNC is written as a Windows C++ MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) program developed in Visual Studio. Source code is provided and may be customized using Visual Studio. MFC Support is a requirement.
General Information
- Compiling KMotionCNC
The KMotionCNC's Visual Studio Project Solution (\PC VC Programs\KMotionCNC\KMotionCNC.sln) is currently written for Visual Studio 2008 Standard. This version can be used for the simplest compatibility. Projects can be upgraded to newer version of VS with minimal effort. Including Microsoft's Free Visual Studio 2013 Community. More info on PC Example Applications.
KMotionCNC Customization Examples and Applications
Links to examples of projects that explain KMotionCNC customizations
- Troy (tmday7) created some helpful documents listed on the Yahoo Group Files Section Screen Customizing/ here.
PC Example Applications
A number of PC Applications using the KMotion Libraries are available in the Software download. Visual Studio should be used to modify/compile the applications.
Currently the projects are compatible with VS 2008 Standard but later Versions can upgrade the projects and can be used including the free Microsoft Version of VS 2013 Community. In some cases MFC capability needs to be added as a separate download.
KFLOP C Programs
C Programs provide a powerful and flexible capability to perform almost any sequence of operations within KFLOP. In most cases after you have tested and tuned all your hardware using the KMotion.exe setup program all the settings and initialization steps required for your system can be placed into an Initialization C Program so that your system can be fully initialized simply by executing the Initialization program.
