KFlop and Mach 3

[ThomasCB21]

S-o-o-o-o-o . . . I was reading on the Dynomotion website, where you needed to know C++ in order to use their board.  Is this true if you Mach 3 with it?  Plus I have begun purchasing bits and pieces to begin my CNC Router.  I will post pictures as the building begins.

Thanks,

To use their board with MACH3 I don't think so. The Mach3 plugin does all the translation.  You run Mach 3 like you always have.

BUT to be sure ask TOM over at KFLOP. He is a straight up guy and will answer your questions.

No, that is absolutely not true.  IF you want to customize the KFlop application, or write your own, you can do so in C++.  To just use it, you don't need anything but their machine controller application, or their Mach3 plug-in.  Being ABLE to customize the application is one of the real strengths of the KFlop.

Thanks for the quick answers.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the information and the support, I have stepped off into this endeavor with a good mechanical background, but zero in machining department.  I'm sure I will continue to come back here and seek more knowledge and wisedom from you.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

If you do get a KFlop, please report back and let us know how it works.  I'm seriously considering getting one myself...

Will do Ray.

Thanks,
