Title: About threading and noise problem for Pokey 57CNC
Post by: hightechkey on September 12, 2017, 12:11:43 PM
Dear Sir
I have plan to change my mach3 parallel port control cnc lathe with Pokey 57CNC controller. I have some questions about this pokey controller.

First one is threading function. My old  parallel port control is using index pulse signal for threading and spindle feedback. Is the pokey controller support this function with Mach3 software (Not Mach4)?

Second one is Noise problem. There are a lot of noise effect to the controller and computer when the machine is running (especially Spindle VFD running). Is the pokey controller include noise filter for IO port?

Thanks..

Unfortunately, threading operation is not supported in Mach3.
