It is part of Dymotion's proprietary code, so the only information publicly available is the header file with the declarations, not the code behind. The header file is KMotionDef.h, which can be found in the DSP_KFLOP directory. The relevant extract from the header file is- // This structure is set ...

That sounds just like how Windows Defender kills apps it doesn't trust. When Windows Defender flags an app as unknown/suspicious, it will sandbox it, and kill it. Sometimes you get a warning, sometimes you don't. Once Microsoft have analysed the app (usually takes anything from a couple days to a co...

If you setup the required outputs in Mach 3 ports/pins, you can then use ActivateSignal, and DeactivateSignal in your Mach3 macro. However, am I correct in assuming, that your are using a binary connection between the KFlop and the PLC? i.e. you have n KFlop outputs, connected to n PLC inputs, and t...

Scott, I wouldn't totally dismiss the Z pulse.
You can use it for index homing, to improve homing accuracy.

In that case, you need to look at section 6 on this page - https://dynomotion.com/Help/Mach3Plugin/Mach3.htm

You need to allocate the KFlop outputs to outputs in Mach 3.
That then allows you to use the outputs within Mach 3 macros.

redx, if you can provide some details about the tool changer (photos would be good), what outputs/inputs it needs, and the required sequence, we'll be able to help you far better. Having just had a quick google, it looks like it uses a variation on a wine rack changer with pneumatically lifted tool ...

using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(file)) { writer.WriteLine(gcode); writer.WriteLine(); } string readText = File.ReadAllText(file); //RichTextBox_GCode.Document.Blocks.Clear(); RichTextBox_GCode.AppendText(readText); bool f = false; // bool state, If for some reason an error occurs insi...

That might be a timing/race condition on startup. Maybe something is happening such as the initialization code is checking for a connection before a timer tick occurs which will try to make a connection to obtain status. You might need some mechanism to wait until the connection status has been upd...

Hi Demondar, my ultimate goal is to replicate all the functions of KMotionCNC in C#, so I can add new functionality. The current issue with the GCode, is certain things in the Interpreter have to be set/triggered via running the relevant GCode, and not via dotNet I.e. to switch between Inch/MM, you ...

I've just discovered what's causing the issue. While going back over DoGCode to add the line to close the streamwriter, I noticed the line that it puts the interpreter in simulation mode if there is no KFlop connected. Comment out that code, and no mystery lockups, or at least no activating simulati...
