I was able to get this working on my machine. Thanks everyone who helped put this together. I was thinking I would need to setup Mach3 to probe. Much relief!.

It looks like a brim or skirt is tuned on in your slic3r settings. Go to skirt and brim and enter zero for loops and zero the brim settings.
If all you need is step/dir outputs, then all you need is the Kflop. If your spindle is +-10v then you could add the kanalog or even the Kstep. I have read that a some users are using a 3rd party...
I bought a Kflop about a year and half ago. I read all of the documentation. I subscribed to the yahoo group. I never had the confidence to start my CNC conversion. I don't have any expirrience...
OK,
I figured out the CW and CCW outputs not being setup as outputs during init. I had them at the bottom of my init.c program.
But I still need help with the spindle spin up delay.
Thanks...
I think I understand what was happening. I'm almost done with the bench testing and just about ready to install it on the machine.
Two things I need help with still:

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your response.
I should have been more clear. I'm not interested in using Mach3 anymore. I'm interested in using Kmotioncnc. I like that it has one screen with everything...
I'm working on converting my Mach 3 controlled 4 axis mill (XYZA). It has a Break out board which takes Step/Dir signals for the spindle and outputs 10V and on/off signal to control the VFD.
...
Wow,
Now that's exciting. I still need to convert over to Kmotion from smooth stepper and mach3. This might just be the thing that gets me off my butt and takes the leap.
I am always...
I build many DIY PCBs using the toner transfer method. I have a kflop, and would love to be able to drill the PCB and have Dynomotion scale and rotate the drill locations based on some "Fiducials"...
I need help figuring out how to enable the M12-M17 outputs on the Roland 540S machine.
I'm trying to activate a solenoid by issuing one of the M12-M17 commands from the G-code. I have the...
I just purchased a machine with a USS. I was having erratic behavior in Mac3 with "Run from here" and when starting a gcode program.
Yesterday I updated Mach and USS driver and plugin. The old...
Thanks Burrman,
I will give that a try, but doesn't it seem like it should be able to do the sweep with any geometry? Why only a rectangle?
Steven.
I have been doing more 3D modeling in BC lately, and have run into a problem doing a sweep.
The first curve (cross section) is perpendicular to the contour, but the resulting solid is on an angle...

I have downloaded the V23 generic millpost and the torchmate plasma for reference.

I don't understand why M15/M16 won't output when I add them to lines 752 and 753 like below.
752. Laser-Plasma-Waterjet Cutter On Code? "M15"

I need to add an M15 for tool down and M16 for tool up.
Rapid move (G0)

Cutting moves w/feed (G01)
M16 (moves head up to clearance...
I know this is old, but it looks like the hardware is made by Planet-CNC

It looks like you might be able to use the EMC2 post (now officially LinuxCNC)

Here is a screen cast documenting my problems with V25. let me know if you have trouble viewing.

I opened up the 3D example and applied the advanced roughing toolpath.
The function: CAM Part/milling tools/compute all toolpath does nothing

I've just downloaded the V25 demo. Here are my thoughts.
1. Stock wizard scrolling is weird. you can only move it with the tab. The arrows don't work for me

Send me an example of a good G-code file and I will see what I can help you with.

Have a look at this thread. It should answer your question.

Is there a way to do a rough pass on a 3D toolpath while leaving a small amount of material for a finish pass in V21?
All I can see is 3D finish pass tollpaths.
I have a surface with 1.5"...
There is a short tutorial on YouTube. I think its V24 getting started 12 of 15
Seems like you would be milling in the opposite direction. Climb instead of conventional milling, for example.

How about this?
Does anyone know if Mach3 or EMC2 can do this?

If you still need help, could you post what the output currently is, and what it should be. Maybe I can help.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction? I'm not a machinist, but I have read a few articles on the theory, but most of the time it's for metals.
