PoPendant 1

I'm considering one of these fellas
http://www.poscope.com/product.php?pid=21
.
Would I be better using it with a PoKeys55T or a second parallel port - can anyone give me a brief run down on the state of play with these and Mach3? i.e. are things stable/reliable (plugins etc.) or are there "issues". Any advice most welcome.
Thanks
Ian

Hi!
As we know there are no open issues with Mach and PoKeys. They works stable and reliable. Second serial port may be option, but with PoKeys you will get much more. E.g. a lot of aditional keys, LCD, lot of outputs etc. If you need aditional relays consider also PoExtBusRe. You can add up to 80 relays using only 3 pins on PoKeys.

Hi borisz
Bit confused with your reply. All I need to know is if I buy a PoPendant (see attached), am I better off connecting it via a PoKeys55T or via a second parallel port and are there any issues I should be aware of with either method.
Thanks
Ian

What is better is hard to answer. You can connect it in both ways and both ways will work reliable.
PoKeys will give you a lot of aditional options as I writed before.

Thanks borisz.
However, I'd be interested to hear views from anyone who's using the above pendant with a second parallel port before I buy. I don't have time to mess, so I'd just like a solution that works out of the box. Clearly just looking at the threads in this sub-forum there are at least some issues using the pendant with a poKeys, but I don't see a lot of mention about using the pendant via a second parallel port. Any views/experiences/opinions welcome.
Thanks
Ian

Noted. I'll go ahead and get the pendant and try it with a second parallel port.
Thanks

After a bit of reading it seems (if I'm correct) that wiring a popendant to a second parallel port isn't trivial. Firstly there arn't enough input pins on a PP port and secondly the pendant requires it's own 5V power source. Are these assumptions correct or am I missing something.

You are correct. I did not counted avaiable pins however, but PP is very limited with IOs.
