Re: Updating To Latest Version

Hi Tom,
Work great.
Just a note, i have custom screens and buttons so had to copy folders 'res' and 'Screens' from directory ...PC VC Examples\KMotionCNC.
Is there any other files that i should copy over for my custom screens? So far all appears ok.

Thanks,
Troy

Updating To Latest Version

Tom,

Thanks,
Troy

Re: DMM-TECH Analog Tunning

Hay Tom, A couple of times I did try adding some "I" value of .001 and got runaway conditions. Also tried a value of .0001 which cause some oscillation.
