Greetings,

I am building a new CNC Software, KFlop Inside, or at the heart of the system.

The part I am working on now. Is the Spindle Analog Control, via PWM, on pin 44. Like used via the KStep. Except I am not using the KStep board, nor the KMotion software. I will be using my own interface board.

My custom software loads the pwm-analog out... control file into the KFlop thread 2.

In GCode, when you turn on the spindle, and give it a speed... M4 S1000 (fwd 1000rpm)... this works via the Tool Setup in the KMotionCNC. So I know the C file is working.
_______________________________________________

My software auto loads this C program into thread 2.

I need to be able in my Init. file, at startup. To configure the MCodes, as to what they should do.
As well, I need to tell the S command, what it is to do.
_______________________________________________
M4 SetBit 46 ClearBit 47
M5 Setbit 47 ClearBit 46
S1000 execute thread 2 when called. S 2 0 "no file specified"... it is already loaded in thread 2.

So, how to load these setting via the Initialization program. Which is a C program... so should be able to do this? I hope?

Thanks in advance for your help!

OK,

After communicating with Tom, he reckomended that I could fill the, "built in Table", with the settings for the MCodes, and the S code, in KMotion is equal to M10, or 10 in the index of the table.

So below is the C# code I used to test the functionality. I run a Initialization with these lines, when my software starts. This tell the MCodes and the S code what to do when encountered.

Note: KM here is short for the KMotion_Controller.

KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetMcodeAction(10, MCODE_TYPE.M_Action_Program, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, "C:\\KMotion430\\C Programs\\KStep\\KMotionCNC\\Spindle_S_Kstep.c");
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetMcodeAction(4, MCODE_TYPE.M_Action_SetTwoBits, 46, 1, 47, 0, 0, ""); //46 on 47 off?
KM.CoordMotion.Interpreter.SetMcodeAction(5, MCODE_TYPE.M_Action_SetTwoBits, 46, 0, 47, 1, 0, ""); //46 off 47 on?

This works for the test, to turn off and on the LED lights on the KFlop Board. Later they will be set to match the control of the Spindle Forward and Reverse.
The file that is loaded for the Spindle PWM to Analog control... for Spindle Speed. Is loaded by the S command.

I am very satisfied with the results... this should be good.

Thanks for reading...
