Hi Guys,

We recently purchased the UCCNC Software and the UC100 motion controller.
Our hopes are to update our old production machines with new motion control software.

I've been playing around with the C# API and can connect\open the UC100 controller.
My questions are:
[list=]
[*] How to do a general axis move after updating positions\index?
[*] How to move 2-axis simultaneously?
[/list]

Here's my sample code:

Code: Select all

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace DemoMotionControlForm_
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {

        private int devices;
        private String helpStr;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            helpStr = "ERROR WITH DEVICE!\nFOLLOW STEPS BELOW\n\n";
            helpStr += "1. Hit 'List Devices'\n2. Hit 'Get Device Info'\n3. Hit 'Open Device'";
        }

        private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void btnMoveRight_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // might need a call to AddLinearMoveRel()
            // for moving 2axis check AddSyncMove()
            int xPos = 0;
            int yPos = 0;
            int zPos = 0;
            int aPos = 0;
            int bPos = 0;
            int cPos = 0;

            int ret = UC100.GetAxisIndex(ref xPos, ref yPos, ref zPos, ref aPos, ref bPos, ref cPos);
            if (ret != 0) {
                MessageBox.Show(helpStr);
                return;
            }
            else
                MessageBox.Show("Current X-Axis Index -> " + xPos);

            xPos += 2000;   // add 2000 steps
            ret = UC100.SetAxisIndex(xPos, yPos, zPos, aPos, bPos, cPos);
            if (ret != 0) {
                MessageBox.Show(helpStr);
                return;
            }
            else
                MessageBox.Show("New X-Axis Index -> " + xPos);


            UC100.AddLinearMoveRel(0, 10.0, 2000, 1.0, true);
            if (ret != 0)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(helpStr);
                return;
            }
            else
                MessageBox.Show("Trying to do linear move -> " + xPos);

        }

        private void btnMoveLeft_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

            // copy the moveRight logic over
            // change the dir pin to move left
            MessageBox.Show("Moving Motor left <- ");
        }

        private void btnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Stopping Motor");
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            UC100.ListDevices(ref devices);
            MessageBox.Show(devices + " device(s) connected");

Hi,
you can use AddLinearMove () or AddLinearMoveP () or look at this post :

Dezsoe wrote an example that you can download. Hope this helps you.
