"Hi Guys:
The reports fromthe latest PoKeys update showed a slow responce bogging down
Mach3.
A new plugin has been uploaded to my files section on Yahoo.
The problem is due to the PoKeys sending a large poacket of information whcih
contains all
inputs and encoders. This takes time to get once requested and the previous
plugin was waiting
after the request until it got the responce. This was taking to long, so this
version incorporates a
high speed threaded timer that works at 100hz, its only job is to look to see if
a packet is waiting, and if so translate it, if not ..exit from the routine. In
this way packet waits are eliminated and mach3 doesnt bog down. It simply
request a new packet at 10hz, and the 100hz timer finds the
responce when it comes.
I uploaded the new test a few minutes ago..
Thanks,
Art"
