Title: pokeys and G100 question
Post by: bramvh on March 30, 2009, 06:05:01 AM

H,

I have currently a G100 set up to control my cnc, and that works just fine, but now I want to build a toolchanger that requires more io than available on the Grex.
I saw on the docs that pokey uses the same addresses as the G100. so now my question: can G100 and pokeys55 be used at the same time for digital outputs in mach? or is that going to mess up the system?

thanks,
Bram

Does not have direct answer.
If Mach and G100 plugins will mess up, you can command PoKeys directly with PoKeys.dll

Boris

hi,

thanks for your reply, i would need the pokeys mainly for outputs, is that also possible with the dll ? how do i tell mach to use that dll? or is the dll only for simulating the keystrokes?

regards,
Bram

Please download and read PoKeys user manual from www.poscope.com
There is all described here.
Dll can be used for all PoKeys functions inputs and outputs.
