Linux/Unix (Mac OS) port of Dynomotions KMotion

KMotionX is a port to Dynomotions KMotion libraries. This is just the core functionality of the libraries. I think it's all there an no features should be missing. Please raise an issue if you find something. The complicated features found in CNC control applications such as KMotionCNC is not in this repository. See KMotionXCNC

Runs on Linux and Mac OS.

Ported libraries and executables KMotionDLL.dll -> libKMotion GCodeInterpreter.dll -> libGCodeInterpeter KMotionServer.exe -> KMotionServer TCC.exe > tcc67

This guide contains four sections. How to install on Mac OS X, Ubuntu, Rasbian (Raspberry Pi) and a common section for KMotion libraries.

Setup and install required dependencies on your platform

Mac OS X

Ubuntu

Raspberry Pi

Install git if not already installed

sudo apt-get install git

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/parhansson/KMotionX.git

cd KMotionX

Configure build for your platform and flavours

./configure

Build project

make

Install project (some platforms (MacOS) do not require 'sudo' just make install')

sudo make install

This will install a rule that tell your system to grant read and write access to the kflop device for users in group "plugdev" If your user is not in that group fix users groups or change the rule before pluging the device in.

sudo cp KMotionX/usb/etc/udev/rules.d/10.kflop.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Plug in your KFlop to an available USB port. KMotionServer will start automatically in background when needed. When KMotionDLL is rebuilt make sure to kill running server 'killall KMotionServer'

Start executeGCode example

cd bin
./executeGCode

It still doesn't work. Troubleshoot
