I'm needing a little bit clarification on how KMCNC handles G20/21. What I understand, is if you check Inch/mm radio buttons, it triggers a DoGCodeLine() for the relevant change, and after various checks, the temp gcode file is launched. Then for keeping the Inch/mm selection accurate, as part of a ...

Thanks for that. I kind of guessed there would some reason why the change wasn't done the simple way. And I never even noticed the Start.. commands. Just to give an update on how things are progressing, I'm now at the point where I've got DROs, continuous jogging, tool offsets, user buttons, and con...

I've not yet implemented the functionality to switch to mm, however is there any reason why KMCNC does it via MDI/DoGCode, rather than via LengthUnits? Also for now I'm looking at using the KM_axis MoveTo() or RelativeMoveTo() to implement step jogging. I see it's noted that it blocks the commanding...

It's not necessary right now, as I've created my own TransformActuatorsToCAD function, copying the non-geo corrected option in the original function, which leaves open the option to implement it later.

If you want to use both, you can, it's just I was a bit confused as to why you mentioned Mach3, and had screenshots of KMotionCNC. We'll concentrate on KMotionCNC first. By copy the files, I mean you may want to copy them to another folder/directory. You don't have to, it's just I prefer to keep eve...

I think all you need to do, is within KMotionCNC Tool Setup, go to the User Button tab, then rather than typing in the file location, click the button to the right of the text box (one with the ">"), navigate to those files (you may want to move them to a new folder elsewhere first),and select the r...

OK, scrap the ConvertAbsoluteTo functions, as I've done some digging and realised they work in solely in CAD space, not counts.

So is it possible to convert machine counts, to CAD while allowing for the Kinematics?

I'm working on the DRO process, and have roughly been following the KMCNC code, but seem to have hit a snag. TransformActuatorstoCAD isn't available in .net/C# Am I correct in guessing that ConvertAbsoluteToInterpreterCoord and ConvertAbsoluteToMachine are the relevant .net methods? If so, is there ...

Hi tom, Thanks for the earlier reply. I have 2 doubts, first is what will be the range of P, I and D for dac servo control method. Or how should i start any starting value of P, I and D so i can tune it properly. ? 0 to 1023 Second doubt is , i have absolute encoder 17 bit in motor and feedback is ...

This mill has been sat in my workshop since before I bought the Denford Cyclone lathe, but it kept getting bumped down the roundtuit list, as other machines have taken priority. I think since this machine got rolled into place, a Denford Novamill has been and gone (bought as I needed to make tool ho...
