Hi,
yes that would work although its not quite as straight forward as you might think. I'm pretty sure Daz
did a video about using an input signal like that.
I was going to ask ....why are you using the PoKeys? I know it will certainly work but given that you have an ESS as
your motion controller I wondered why you wanted to use the PoKeys as well.
The ESS has three ports so can be set up with about 31 inputs and 23 outputs, assuming you want max inputs that is.
Is there not enough IO with all of that?
4 axes 8 outputs
1 enable 1 output
spindle 2 outputs
coolant 1 output
TOTAL 12 outputs
homes 4 inputs
limits 8 inputs
probe 1 input
TOTAL 13 inputs
As far as I can see you are likely to have about 15 inputs and 10 outputs to spare.
