I was set up using Pokeys with Mach3 and all was working ok except I have been dealing with problems with the index pulse. That aside I closed out of mach at the end of the day and powered down the mill and Pokeys. When I came in in the morning I started the computer then powered the mill and started Mach3 and I had no plugin? I had to go to the configuration tab and re check pokeys plugin, close out and restart But still no plugin. I am hooked up via Ethernet and went to the control panel and checked the properties tab for the Ethernet connection and found the IP address I had assigned was gone and it was set to auto. I changed it back to the assigned address and then rebooted the computer. After reboot I now have pokeys showing up in Mach but I have lost all motion. I hit the home switches while in the diagnosics tab and they light up but I can not jog or move in MDI. The DRO's respond but I have no movement.
Can someone help me out here? It seems every time I try to solve one problem a new one starts before I can correct the one I am working on. This is my first buid with Pokeys and it is not going well!
Thanks for any input,
Jeff
