Title: PoKeys to control external devices, right choices ?
Post by: pe lang on December 13, 2012, 05:37:02 PM

hi,

I am a bit new to PoKeys. I do have a cnc, running with smooth stepper. I would like to add more output ports to trigger external devices (liquid dispenser, air...)
So far, i think using "Brains" to trigger the outputs from mach3 in oder to activate the external devices.

Is the PoKeys the right choice as an extension board ?

Thanks, Pe

Hi, Pe

You can still use Brains with the PoKeys device. PoKeys can be configured to output values from different sources - LEDs, Mach IOs.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.
