I got this to work in Mach3 and KmotionCNC, but the steps/inch setting seems to be wandering around now. I am working on that. The motors run much cooler now. I am researching jerk to find out the right setting. I have a physics degree, so I have some clue what acceleration per second is, but "jerk" is an engineering term, so I have never worked with it before. It sounds like a bad thing, but I assume it refers to softening the changes in motion, like reducing the pressure on a brake pedal?
Anyway, I will keep fooling with it. You have been a tremendous help. I had no idea the Kflop had to be told there was a Kstep, or that the mot files were not needed.
It's pretty cool, finally seeing something happen in KmotionCNC.
