Hi Tom,

Is there a way to add the function of single step command (found on the G code screen) to an external button.c file? It's useful to be able to step through the first bit of a new program one line at a time and if i could do while working closer to the machine with out having to always make sure my mouse is clicking the right button on the screen that would be a nice feature to have as an external button on the desk or pendant.

Thanks,
Dan

I do exactly that using my pendant through a custom PCComm function. But, that has to be done within the application - Unless there's some trick I don't know, it can't be done entirely by the KFlop, since it requires calling the interpreter to run a single line of the G-code file, and the G-code file and the interpreter exist only on the PC, not the KFlop.

Hi Ray,

Which application are you referring to? We are using KmotionCNC.

Hi Ray,

Which application are you referring to? We are using KmotionCNC.

It would have to be integrated into KMotionCNC by modifying the course code.

Hi Dan,

KMotionCNC contains a mechanism for KFLOP to communicate special codes to request it to do certain things including Single Step. The supported codes and operations are listed in the PC-DSP.h header file. See:

KFLOPtoPCCmdExamples.c

Specifically the call to:

DoPC(PC_COMM_SINGLE_STEP);

HTH
