Kflop machine operator panel ?

[sahilkit]

Dear All,

I'm looking to implement a 2 axis turning cnc machine operator panel, interested in examples and suggestion etc.

Option1 : Use a touch monitor with basic external buttons like Inti, Start, Stop, Feed-hold, E-stop and Reset.

Option2: Build a button based panel similar to industry standard and interface via Konnect Optical I/O Expansion Board.

In using option 2, i have few questions as to how does one assign kmotion screen icon buttons to Kconnect like below icons.

1. Zero all icon button.
2. measure icon
3. single step
4. Tool setup
5. Feed and Speed over ride icons
6. Jog icons
7. Jog step size
8. Tool
9. Fixture offset etc

Thank you
Sahil

Hi Sahil,

Option 1 wouldn't then be external buttons would it?

You might see the ExternalButtons.c, JogWithTogglesAndPot.c, and KFLOPtoKMotionCNCScreenScript.c examples.

That was my last option and less work too.

Thanks will study the C program examples.
