Hi Guilherme,

If KFLOP can not communicate to KMotionCNC then you can't have KFLOP send an MDI command to KMotionCNC. You will have to do whatever you need to do entirely within KFLOP.

Hello,

Just to make sure...

The WATCHDOG_DELAY defined in the example WatchdogStatusRequests.c as 5.0 can be set to any desired positive value without problems, right?

Sincerely,
Guilherme

Hi Guilherme,

Yes it can, but realize that Windows is not a real time operating system. On rare occasions Windows/PC/USB may "freeze" momentarily. That is after all the whole purpose of KFLOP is to provide guaranteed deterministic real-time response so the PC doesn't have to. How long the worst case "freeze" will be depends on many things. So setting to less than around 1 second can run the risk of tripping the watch dog even when things are operating "normally".

HTH

hi Tom;
can you please tell me if its possible to edit the IDC_Bplus , IDC_Bminus , buttons so the arrow points in the same direction than the Z axis? instead of pointing left and right?
regards
Mariano
