Re: Fawne Fadal, Unchained. (4020 Fadal Retrofit)

Hi Batty, Very good. But several things: #1 the Acceleration is set extremely high relative to that level of Jerk. Jerk is normally set around 10X the Acceleration value in order to to apply the full acceleration in around 0.1 seconds. With those levels of A and J it would take 200 seconds to apply ...

Re: SETTING UP KFLOP, KANALOG FOR NEW CNC ROUTER RETROFIT

Hi Noel,

I believe you only have Step/Direction signals connected to the Drives which is Position with no way to control velocity. So the Drives would need to be in Position mode.

Re: Isolating SnapAmp from KFLOP to remove motor noise

Grounding is complex but one approach is to connect shields that are on noisy signals (Motor wiring, supply wiring, etc) with the purpose of collecting noise and preventing radiation of noise, to be connected to earth gnd away from KFLOP. If these shields are connected to the KFLOP/SnapAmp/KStep DC ...

Re: Isolating SnapAmp from KFLOP to remove motor noise

Hi Griffin, Strange there would be so much noise with fairly low currents. SnapAmp not being isolated is it's major drawback. But this normally only becomes problematic switching 10's of Amps with multiple motors. Grounding is very complex. Maybe you could describe your grounding, earth grounding, p...

Re: Add Button to perform G Code Command

Hi Neil,

You can assign a GCode file to a button by specifying the Execute Prog Action with a file with an .ngc extension.

Remember to terminate the GCode with M30

Re: Kogna debug suggestions

Hi Steve, One thing that occurred to me is is that Starting a Thread while it is already running may well cause a crash. StartThread sets up the Stack Pointer and some values in the stack for the Thread. If this was in the process of being setup and a context switch causing the Thread to execute thi...
