Subject: CompileAndLoadCoff in KMotion_dotNet

Hello,

 

I’m using the KMotion_dotNet library for a motion control application.  I can successfully configure the motion control axes by the following methods:

 

a) The “Config and Flash” screen in KMotion,

b) Compiling and running a c-program from the “C Program” screen in KMotion

c) Downloading the C-program into user memory and configure so that it launches on power-up.

 

However, I can’t do something like this:

 

String result = kmcontroller.CompileAndLoadCoff(0, "C:\\init.c", false);

 

I’m not getting anything in String result except a bunch of white space, and nothing in error or message logs, and it’s not creating a .out file

 

I’m not having any other problems moving the axes using the KMotion_dotNet library once I get it configured.

 

Any hints?

 

Thanks,

 

Toby Rule

Hello Toby,

 

 

Where is your KMotion_dotNet.dll located?

 

It should remain in the //Kmotion4xx/Kmotion/Release   folder.

 

 

Does the provided c# console app work?

 

 

It is using a convenience method::

_Controller.ExecuteProgram(1, TheCFile, false);

 

Where a file stored variable TheCFile is compiled/offed and executed in one line.

Hi Toby,
 
There is a problem with CompileAndLoadCoff reporting errors.  This has been fixed but not yet released.  If there are no errors it should work.  If you were to step through the code you could see the error that is not being passed back to the .NET level.
 
The first parameter is the Thread to use. Valid numbers are 1-7.  0 is the KFLOP System Thread and not allowed.   That may be your problem. 
 
Regards
TK

    Tom and Brad,

     

    Thanks for the replies. The problem was the zero thread number.  I am having flashbacks to a couple years ago when I made the same mistake using the C++ framework.   So the following works fine:

     

    kmcontroller.CompileAndLoadCoff(1, "C:\\init.c", true);

     

    Regards,

     

    Toby

    Sounds like I need to add some exceptions on the program call methods that will throw an error if an invalid thread is requested.
