Subject: KMotionCNC - no option for angular A,B,C
Hi Tom,

I just noticed that the version of KMotionCNC installed on my computer (4.30, downloaded 3/9/13) does not have any of the options for specifying the A,B,C axis as rotary type.

There are other differences from the screen captures shown in the help files as well (i.e., no vars file in tool setup, no edit option for tool offsets in the main screen, etc...). I thought I had downloaded the latest, but am I missing something?

I am running with my own front end GUI that uses the Kmotion_dotNet.dll. I have not found a way in the dll (presumably for the same reason) to tell the interpreter that an axis is rotary. The only trouble is, when I switch between G20/G21 I get the problem with that axis being scaled... I created a work around, but it seems I might not be using the latest.

Thanks

I reported the G20/G21 problem with version xxxf on June 29

. . . and got no response.

It is a big problem if the post inserts G20 in every G-code and the
erroneous rescale sends the Z axis climbing out of control.

Especially when you are running a program that has run lots of times
befor with no problem and you do not expect the head to crash into the
hard stop at the top of the Z travel.

It is still broken. And still being recommended.

Incidentally, G70 also sets it off . . . crash number two.

Hi Steve,

I replied on June28th.  Somehow it didn't get posted.  I just resent to the original Thread.  I think that happened twice to you now.  I don't know what is going on.  Let me know if you don't get a response within 24 hrs.

Regards
TK

Tom,

I have downloaded 431f and have been trying to switch my program over to using the new KMotion_dotNet.dll. (I am programming in VB 2008 express edition) .

I can't find the property or function call to set the radius value that the interpreter uses for transforming the linear feedrate values specified in Gcode into angular rates (assuming the a,b or c axis are specified as degrees).

Also, setting the DegreesA() property in MotionParameters doesn't seem to have any affect.  I can set it TRUE or FALSE... but it always stays TRUE.

Hi James,

Here is a test version that should fix those issues.
