Hi I tried to include the KM_SetConsoleCallback function myself but I failed. The function returns zero but no data send to my VB callback function. any help...
Hi Andrew, Did you ever resolve this? I'm not sure I follow and Mach3 handles all the estop functionality, but it sounds like maybe the estop is just...
Thank you very much , this is really helpful. However there is a problem with the setconsolecallback when I tried to execute the thread few times around (4). I...
Hi Azd,  I can't reproduce the problem. I suppose the garbage collector doesn't realize that we passed the delegate out to the KMviaVB.dll and still is...
I changed the handler declaration and function function body as below and so far so good.  Dim handler As EventHandler Public Function KM_SetConsoleCallba...
Hi Tom, No, I havn't sorted this one yet. The estop signal is definetly getting through to mach, on the diagnostics screen you can see the "estop" led toggle...
Hi Tom I have done a little more investigation in regard to my estop issue, and I think there are actually a couple of issues. Firstly, if I am executing a...
Sorry I'm not more help, but this sounds very familiar to a problem I had only on the A axis using a SmoothStepper (sorry, I didn't know about DynoMotion yet!)...
Hi Andrew, First to answer your question: There is an internal EStop flag and also a MyReset function that gets called. It looks like we mainly only check...
Hi Tom I have changed my homing program to 'OR' my enable1 output from mach, like this: while (ReadBit(15) || (!ReadBit(144))) ; But it doesn't pick up if I am...
Andrew, You might try this: while (ReadBit(15) || (ReadBit(144)==0)) ; or while (ReadBit(15)Â && (ReadBit(144)==0)) ; TK ________________________________ From:...
Hi Chris, To use linear glass scales with KFlop/Kanalog they should output differential quadrature signals (the same as a rotary encoder). Some glass scales...
It sounds like it would not be a wise choice for my second retro. Maybe down the road. Thanks Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone ... From: Tom Kerekes...
All 3 of my motors seem to be running well and the encoders are working. When I jog on the g-code screen the motors move fine. The problem is when I hit run...
Hi Jared, I think you probably have more than just your 3 axes defined (which is the default) and one of those axis is disabled. Assuming your X,Y,Z axis are...
I am having more and more success with my KFlop - KAnalog - Mach3 system now. One thins I have yet to figure out is how to keep the KFlop +/-15v bit active...
With KFlop+Kanalog (unlike KMotion) the +/-15V should come on automatically during boot up. It Kanalog's LED is on then the +/-15V should be on. But if you...
Right now i'm running from the +12v supply. When I up the voltage to my +54 volt supply will the speed increase accordingly or is this a setup parameter? Also...
Hi Jared, I believe I recall you are using a KMotion board, DC Servos, and KMotionCNC. No the speed is not directly controlled by the supply voltage, however...
Connecting your system to the motors will of course change the tuning. Adding mass will have the effect of reducing the loop gain (for the same motor effort,...
Hi all, Any help how to control a Brushless dc motor 3PH with a hall sensor? I am using Kmotion with SnapAmp. Is it possible to ignore the hall sensor in case...
Hi Azd, SnapAmp supports driving a 3PH brushless by sinusoidal commutation using a shaft encoder (not hall sensors). You can't drive a brushless motor by just...
Thanks for the reply 1- What I mean by fixed voltage, is a fixed input voltage amplitude of the 3 phase channels. ( open loop no feedback) 2-Â Actually I want...
Hi Azd, The AutoPhaseFind program is written to rotate the motor until it sees the index mark. It doesn't need the encoder or index mark to rotate the...
"if you want to use the hall sensors that would be a possibility also. But you would need all 3 wired up and you would need to write a User program to do the...
As a first step I would modify the AutoPhaseFind program to rotate the motor slowly and print the hall sensor inputs with the commanded phase angle. You will...
