Re: KOGNA read I/O bit from main status

Rather than delete files, I often just add a random letter to the filename. I keep all my old KMotion installs, but just add an x to the end, that way if I've still got something pointing to the wrong directory I quickly know about it, but I still have access to all the files in case there is someth...

Re: KMotion versions vs. Firmware versions

AFAIK the KMotion install, will always come packaged with the current firmware for that version of KMotion. And any version of KMotion (or at least any version compatible with whatever board that you are using) can flash any version of compatible firmware to the board. So in short, you can use 5.3.1...

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net

I'm actually pretty excited about the options the screen changes will create! It will mean changing and redoing quite a lot of the things I've already coded, but I do feel it will be worth it. My current aim is to get my mill running it, with a custom screen for initialising the tool changer, as cur...

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net

I've been spending a bit time on this, and I now have a screen that is almost* fully generated from an XML, which has potentially opened up a lot of functionality. I'll hopefully have this done over the next few days, then I can look at adding some form of basic screen builder/editor, along with the...

Top section looks like a Tacho, which is of no use for positioning purposes.

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

Without going through all your C programs, it's hard to give any specific advise. Generally you'd have your main init.c (your main configuration program, typically combined with an endless loop for machine monitoring) running in one thread. You'd then use other threads to carryout specific tasks, su...

Re: simple 2 axis lathe initial lathe set up

I'm assuming the 25'500 figures is the counts/unit (inch in your case) setting you need to get 1/2"? From your original/first post, if Z axis is 10mm, and encoder count is 2000, then that should give a resolution of 200counts/mm, now to get 1" travel, it should take 200*25.4, which is 5080 counts/in...

Re: How to connect Sanp Amp with Kogna controller

SIXMA, have you flashed the new version (5.3.1) to the Kogna using KMotion?

Also, how are you powering the Kogna?

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net

Progress has been made. I now have a screen that contains buttons that are generated from an external XML (And that XML is generated automatically should it not exist/be corrupt). However it's got me thinking about screen functionality in general. As it stands, I've largely replicated KMotionCNC fun...

Re: G-codes/offsets/tools with .Net

I spent some time last night researching options, and although my initial plan of directly importing the XAML won't work, I'm going to try using a XML to store all the values, then read that in. Then I need to add the functionality so the core code can detect and update only the components being use...
