Re: OMRON Homing Switch

Thanks Moray, I added a 10k resistor between 5+ and the output. I am having stability issues, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt. When I put a voltmeter on the output I see the voltage drops for 5V to 1.47V. Do you know the switching threshold of the KFLOP? I am guessing I am just too close...

Re: KFlop V1.3 Driver Issues

Thanks Tom, I am trying to use this on a corporate computer, many managed settings - I dont even have admin rights. I am most interested in modifying the USB chip so the standard drivers will work. Do you have any further details on how to do that? Maybe another thread where someone has done that? S...

KFlop V1.3 Driver Issues

Greetings, Trying to connect a new Windows 11 computer to an KFlop V1.3 with KMotion Version 5.3.6. The install seems to work, but has an error when I try to install the drivers. Whenever I try to update the driver it says it already has the latest one. Anyone else have this problem? Is the latest s...

One Laptop.. Many KFlops

Tom, I am using one laptop to control 5+ KFlop machines (Router, Grinder, Mill, 2 axis robot, etc). Each time I have to copy and paste the config files for each machine setup. It works.. but is a bit of a pain keeping everything straight. Would it be possible to streamline this somehow? Maybe a load...

Re: I am trying to build a 5 axis CNC machine.

I am using Solid Works for a commercial router at work. I had to pay for a post processor from Solidworks, was about $1,000 for a 3 axis machine. I am certain you could pay for a 5 axis post processor.

Re: Vehicle Position Log

Tom,

Could you give me a bit more detail on the script command? Is that something that can be done from the command prompt? I have mainly worked with C programs on the KFlop side of things.

Re: Vehicle Position Log

Hi Tom, I think I figured out how to make a separate application send the data from a text file. I just need to make a user program that will poll the axis position and write it to a text file every 0.1 seconds. It has to overwrite the existing data, not append. Does this look correct? #include "KMo...
