KCarn CNC Controller Software

To complete th is section of your CNC robotics project , yo u will
need to have KCam installed and configu red for your machine. If
you haven't already installed KCam, visit the Kell yware Web site at
www.kellyware.com and download the demo version of KCam 4.
The demo will ru n fully functional for 60 days, w hich should be
more than enough time to fi ne- tune your mac hine setup and start
working on all the projects you conceived w hile building the work-
shop bot. Chapter 5 has exp lained setting up KCam in order to test
your driver boards. In testing. it really didn 't matter if all the
parameters of your machine had been established, but it now
does. Open KCam, click on Setup and open the Table Setu p win-
dow. Ensure that the number of steps per inch and the physical
dimension for each axi s on your machine are correct. Next,
uncheck the Limit Switches Disabled button, click Apply and close
the window (see Figure 10.1).
