I am using KFlop with KStep board, driving a 4 axis cnc machine with stepper motors. The steppers are wired to be within the boards rated current. However, I would like to increase current to the Zaxis above the rated current of the KStep board, and therefore I am thinking of using the SnapAmp. Is i...

Thank you Tom,
That is just what I needed, I now have one more safety in place for my peace of mind.

I am using a C program to handle auto tool changes. If the toolchange program is running and I hit the Halt or FeedHold buttons in KmotionCNC, the axes halt but the C program continues, resulting in the ejection of the tool from the spindle wherever it has halted on the table. Not ideal. What code c...

Tom,
No, I did not realize this. Now that I do, everything makes sense again and I have sorted out the problem I was having.
I apologize for being dumb and taking up your valuable time, but thanks all the same. Your support is second to none!

Hello Tom, Thank you for your response. I have checked by moving over 10 large moves and then coming back to the initial position and that is still at the correct original physical position. I have checked the cnts/in (The units are in inches in the machine setup screen) for the machine by marking a...

Greetings, I have been setting up a tool rack for ATC upgrade. Tools are spaced along y-axis with the distance from T1 to T12 about 900mm. When moving to the absolute Y positions for tool holders there seems to be a scaling error. The actual position gets increasingly out until the final tool positi...

Tom, I have attached the updated, and fully operational, C program for any who may be interested. I have placed it in the 'loop forever' section in my machines Init program to monitor for spindle thermal protection. Also, I was wondering where I can find a list of all the functions like the JOB_ACTI...

Thank you Tom,
Putting in the code:

while (JOB_ACTIVE) ;

did the trick.

Hello, I am having trouble getting the Z-axis to move to safeZ height after implementing a feedhold/halt in Gcode through a C program. The purpose of the C program is to include thermal protection for the spindle and run the C-program when a thermal switch opens. The program runs fine except that th...

Thank you.
It has been a while since I needed to access these files and I should have found them. It is good to have your support though, it is appreciated.

All working well!
