Re: Snap Amp Faulting

Hi William, The only SnapAmp related change I see is that the Axis OutputOffset is now applied to PWMC (brush motor current mode) where previously it was ignored. If it is 0 it should have no effect. KflopToKMotionCNCFunction.c has to do with sending commands to KMotionCNC so is very unlikely to hav...

Re: Snap Amp Faulting

Hi William,

I'm can't think of any change that would cause that. Do you have a copy of the previous installation folder? Maybe something wasn't merged into the new Version?

Here is a link to 4.35f.

KMotion4.35f

Please go back to it to see if anything else changed.

Re: Which Post Procesor?

Hi Alexanders,

Most post processors have an option to break full circles into semicircles. The problem with full circles is that it is somewhat vague whether the intent is a microscopic arc, that truncated to zero length arc, or a full circle. Please see if you have such option.

Re: KMotion/KFLOP/Kogna Version 5.3.7 Released

Hi Alexanders, There haven't been other requests for this option. Its somewhat difficult as it changes the tool Table format and the Tool Table Screen. Some users might not appreciate the changes so it would need to be done as an optional, backward compatible manner. So then also a new option to sel...

Re: Fried KStep?

Hi Jack, Sorry to hear this. Yes crossing the coils is one of the worst things. Current limits are applied to the wrong FETs. It is likely damaged. Fuses are normally too slow to protect against this. KStep doesn't have any fuses. We don't find it cost effect to repair. You will likely need to repla...

Hi George,

If you hove over buttons a tool tip should indicate any Hot Key.

Re: Placing RC snubber across source and drain of FETs on SnapAmp

Hi Griffin, I'm not sure. The risk would be to draw large currents and reduce efficiency. The outputs are switching 80V in ~100ns. To have high efficiency these switch very fast. Unfortunately this is a source of noise. When the output is high or low there is very little power dissipation. But when ...

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi George, The danger would be the Operator types a long MDI command and sees a typo near the beginning so he/she attempts to use the arrow keys to go back and fix it but instead the X axis moves. Try it, carefully. We plan to disable Keyboard Jog in the next Version when you click in the MDI control.

Re: 5 axis CNC Router/3d printer

Hi George, That would be somewhat dangerous. Some Users would expect when an edit control is selected to be able to move the cursor with the arrow buttons and not have it unexpectedly Jog the machine. Actually I see now a bug where clicking in the MDI Edit Control (not the drop down) the Keyboard Jo...
