About CNC Software Development

[Alprn27]

Hi !

I am using Stepcraft M500 CNC machine and I am trying to use this machine with my own code which is written with the UC100.dll file and the UC100.h files from the API file in the UCCNC software's source files. But unfortunately I can't move the machine with my codes. I don't know where I am doing wrong or missing. I also can use the header file's some functions with my code so I can see with my code " How much devices connected the pc ?","What is the device type ?". But like I said I cant move the head of CNC. I am sharing my codes below. If you guys can help I would be glad.

Device type is a structure defining the type of motion controller.
The structures you can find in the C# header file which you can also find in the UCCNC/API folder, my advice is to check that file for the structure definition.

I looked the files that you said before. Me and my friend tried another code with C++ and we can't still move CNC head. Can you guys please look again ?

Which UC controller do you test?

Which UC controller do you test?

I am trying to use UC100 USB CNC motion controller.

I am trying to use UC100 USB CNC motion controller.

Made by CNC Drive Hungary or is it a pirate copy?

I think it's original but just in case I am adding a picture of it.

[cncdrive]

Your UC100 looks original.
And if the blue LED is on when you connect with the API then it is sure a genuine UC100.

Fake Chinese UC100 controllers do not work with any of our softwares, because they are not clones or copies, they are Chinese controllers with Chinese code, so they are not at all compatible with any of our softwares.
The only common between our UC100 and the Chinese UC100 is the name 'UC100'.

I am trying to use UC100 USB CNC motion controller.

That's OK. I asked it because controllers other than UC100 need conversion from port/pin to UCpin. (UCpin is the bit number + 1 and you have to set this in AxisSettings etc.) The UC100 has only one port and using UC100 the UCpin equals to the pin number.

(But when you use GetInput, GetOutput or SetOutput you'll find that even the UC100 needs this conversion. The bit in the 64 bit value that these functions use is 1 << (UCpin - 1). The map of bits is different for inputs and outputs. The UC100 UCpin values are:
- outputs: 1 to 12 are for pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16, 17
- inputs: 1 to 5 are for pins 10, 11, 12, 13, 15.)

Can you please share me any code about this ? When you tell theoricly I am confused. With any code I can understand better.
