Yup,thank you Tom. The Deadband fixed it. Also sorry for asking questions you already answered. Either my browser or the forum was being weird. I didn't see some of your replies from the 14th...

Thx for the suggestion Daz, I might end up doing something like this with a custom connector where I can arrange the appropriate Pin out. It seems like my little software filter is doing the trick...

Ok, I think I figured out a software filter to help me look for persistent signals and ignore narrow spikes with a modification of the ExternalButtons.c example. It seems to work, but I wanted to...

Ope, sorry must have missed that part. I'll look into Crimp on connectors for a 26 pin ribbon cable. There may be something I can press on "inline", rather than having to replace two connectors at...

Sorry for the rapid fire replies, but I also found this on Amazon (Faraday Fabric Tape 2.4inch x 82feet Double Sided Conductive Cloth Adhesive Tape). Seems like it's wide enough to just about wrap...

It doesn't seem like the internet has too many shielded ribbon cables or "close double ended" IDC26 cables readily available. I might just try to DIY this, by shielding each of my two ribbons with...

Ok so the Pull Up resistor I added was between IO6 and Pin 1 (or 3.3v). I might have made a mistake the first time around. I tried it again just now and I could see IO6 go from 0.14v to 3.49v when...

Hey there, so I tried adding a Pull Up resistor, but that didn't really help. I tried adding my own pull downs too and even went so far as to run a ground wire to IO6 directly just to make sure...

Ok I think I understand. The octocoupler is kindof like a digital switch, reading a 12V signal and outputting 3.8V when tripped. I could draw something up but I've done some reading on Pull Ups and...

I did some more troubleshooting. When I hook up my switches through the optocoupler on the G540 they generate a 3.8V signal when depressed (up from 0.8V when left unpressed). I tried to hook this...

Ok sounds like I misunderstood how KFLOP reads signals. And it makes sense that I would need to isolate those from noise. I did a little reading about my Gecko G540 and I'm seeing folks run their...

Ok great, sounds like I'm making some progress. I spent the last couple days attaching and wiring up my Limit Switches, but I'm not sure how the KFLOP (or KMotion) interprets the signals. I'm...

STEP TEST I = [0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.007, 0.010], V = 80000, Size = 10...

Good advice. I started smaller and was better able to characterize the behavior of corrections for various Integral values. The results of my experiments are attached below. I left the Input Gain...

Hey there,

I'm back again (and so soon). I just got my Kflop talking to my Gecko to run my motors (Check). Next step is figuring out how to configure KMotion in CL Step mode to help control my...

Hey Dean, I've got the E-Stop jumper in place, but it was good to check on that too, things come loose.

Tom, you were spot on about the missing GND wire between the KFLOP and G540. Now that I...

Hey there,

I've been running and upgrading my little desktop router for the past few years, but I would still consider myself a newbie at motion control. I recently upgraded my setup from...
