Hi Mike, bad support?? and I suppose that also seems expensive too... I do not feel identified with your comment (and think i´m not the only one), and feel that it is a contempt to the work that these people do, if an amateur can configure this hardware and a professional does not, I´m so sorry very much for the professional, it´s not a "ready to fly" products but is more powerful and adaptable that other options in the market.kind regards
I agree that it is more adaptable than other products on the market. That's why I ended up using it. However, when you've used some of the other products available that have been developed by larger, more experienced companies you see that the documentation and support for this is limited (extremely). The simple fact that you have to wait, sometimes days, for an email response about any issues is dreadful to me. No real company releases a product and expects customers to have to wait ... Read More

No real company releases a product and expects customers to have to wait for email support. Telephone support is absolutely necessary. Also, Tom has told me that he will not assist in tuning PID even though his PID is not implemented per industry standard practice. Derivative feedback is not performed after error is calculated, but is purely rate of position , not rate of error... Just one of many problems. Here's a manual of a product we use that is very easy to setup and use. It is not a complete CNC system, just a servo amplifier, but it has many programmable features and is just as complex in my opinion. https://www.copleycontrols.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/XTL-XSJ-Xenus_User_Guide-Manual.pdf Perhaps Tom could take note and improve his manuals?
I think a lot of people here have experience running CNC machines. If you do, you'll understand this: CNC machines have the ability to show you the distance remaining to move before you reach your next commanded position. In other words, if your G code commands a move from X0. to X10. while your machine is traversing between those points you can access a mode in which the controls displays the distance remaining before you reach X10. I was just told by Tom that his product does not have ... Read More

I was just told by Tom that his product does not have this capability and that he "can't think of a simple solution". Sound like good support to you? If anyone else has been able to implement a To Go read out, please tell Tom how to do it so he can tell me. Unbelievable.... have you ever run a CNC Tom?
If anyone gives this product less than a 5, it is because they do not understand the technical aspects of this technology. No manufacturer makes anything even close to the capability and versatility these boards are capable of. Yes they are complex, however the rewards are great too using Dynomotion products. The quality of this product along with support (manuals and Forums) is superb! I use Kflop, Kstep and Kconnect boards and they are worth every cent.
The example VB.net example programs do not compile. This has set me back considerably. It is important that libraries and example programs work as claimed. While I understand the difficulty of creating such a library and example programs, others have had the same problems as well -- which have also not been resolved. If fixed this would be an excellent product.
Sorry to hear you are disappointed. Have you contacted our support or posted the issue on our Yahoo Group or cnczone forum? Have you tried the latest Test Release?
I figured everything out -- it doesn't seem to get along with Visual Studio 2017. I ended up switching to 2015 and everything worked with a little bit of effort. Sorry for the bad review... feel free to delete it. Will be ordering more KFLOPs in the future.
HI!! I am looking for a good controller to retrofit my Lathe. Do you recomend Kflop for this aplicatio? Is Kflop capable for threading' Thanks... Gabriel Hernandez
Gabriel this board and the support are excellent, the program come with many kind of examples and if you know C language (highly recommended) you could achieve impressive things. About your question, yes, you can do threading at right, at left, conical threaded, eccentric, constant speed surface (CSS), Automatic Tool Change..example threading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29Q0kOsRWlYexample with G96 function (CSS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWrntLmdJqY
Gracias por tus comentarios. Acabamos de encargar el Kflop junto con el Kanalog. Creo fue una buena eleccion, no soy experto programando C, pero creo saldre avante con la programacion. Gracias....Gabriel Hernandez
