Feedhold Backwards/Forwards speed

[cnc_freak]

Hello.
When i press the feedhold button while executing a part program, the motion stops. Then when i press the bacward or forward buttons, which are becoming visible, the tool moves very slowly. Is there a way to change this speed?

Hi,

KMotionCNC has the speeds hard coded to 20% with these lines:

Code: Select all

	m_Forward.Init(this, 1, 0.2);
	m_Reverse.Init(this, -1, 0.2);

To change the speed of those buttons you would need to change those lines and re-build KMotionCNC.

Another option would be to create your own buttons with the Screen Script Editor that would call a C Program in KFLOP that would change the Temporary FRO to some value with something like:

Code: Select all

#include "KMotionDef.h"

void main()
{
	SetFROTemp(-1.0);  // set full speed in Reverse
}

HELLO, TOM, GREETINGS. I'm trying to put buttons on the KMOTIONCNC screen, I just need them to send me a value that I can use in a C program. Is there a way to do this? I am only using KFLOP.
For example, I have 4 buttons with 1, 10, 100 and 1000, suppose I select the one with a value of 1000 (in my case they would be pulses that I will send to a motor) then when I press the motor button 1 a C program is executed where it reads the value of the selected button 1000,and 1000 pulses are sent to the motor, is it possible to do that?

Another question, I have two KFLOP cards, one works with the Kmotion 4.3h version (it is where I do my tests) and the one connected to the machine that works with the Kmotion 5.0.8c version, the question is that I load some cinematics in the version 4.3h and now I need to use 5.08c, do I have to load everything from scratch or can I copy some folders from the root directory and replace those with the new version?



Thank you very much for your answers, greetings.

Hi Ibzan,

There isn't currently a way to read the text of a pushbutton. But if the text doesn't change then you might just code the value into the C Program for the button. Or you might pass the value to the C Program as the Actions Param.

Another option might be to use Edit Controls with buttons right next to them. In this case the C Program activated by the button could read the edit associated control. This would also allow the Operator to easily change the values.
