Dear all,
I have a Problem with Pokeys56U as Pendant.
Mach3 is latest, activated Version, Pokeys Firmware / Software was 3.1.52 /3.1.55 --> updated to 3.1.62 Beta, OS is XP. Following the description on page 19 ff of Poscope Pulse Engine v2 docu, I tried to connect and run this 56U as Pendant, unfortunately without success. The hardware is following the schematic on page 20, but additionally i connected a 16x4 LCD which works as expected.
My problem is, that I can not enter the MPG mode, therefore no reaction if I change the switches or move the Jog.I am not using the pulse engine to move the axes (they are connected to LPT1). The Mach3 settings in Ports&Pins / MPG in case of MPG#1 is: 10,1,10,2 but even if I deactivate MPG#1 here - no change. Or if i put in 0,0,0,0 - no change. Whenever i change something in Mach3 or Plugin settings, i restart Mach3 to be sure.
Maybe my english is not good enough (I am German) but i do not understand the text in Pulse Engine Documentation page 21:
Almost at the bottom of the page it says in red: Therefore Mach3's Ports and Pins configuration should not be used to setup ...
The next paragraph says: Also note, that the coresponding MPG must be only enabled in Mach3's Ports and pins under MPG tab.
This seems to be in conflict (or i do not understand the meaning), anyway, it would be great if someone could help me to get this Pendant working.
Many Thanks in Advance
Harald
