Is it possible to have KmotionCNC run a start up script when you start the software?

Want I am looking to do is have the amplifiers disabled unless KmotionCNC is running, so I would either need a signal that KmotionCNC is running that I could use in a C program.
Or some kind of an auto launch on startup

What would be the best way to accomplish this?


Thanks

Hi Dave,

We don't have a start up script. When KMotionCNC starts running it will begin requesting status from KFLOP ~ 10 times per second. Inside KFLOP each time status is reported a counter is incremented. So would it work for you to monitor this counter and when you detect that it increments then you would know that KMotionCNC has started running? Actually any application that requests status (ie KMotion.exe) would also cause the counter to increment. I think that would work on startup. But it turns out that when a modal dialog box in KMotionCNC is open the status doesn't update so you can't really use it to determine that KMotionCNC exited.

int StatusRequestCounter;

HTH
