This is my first post, although I have much time consulting the valuable contributions of the forum members. I am currently in the design phase of a control pendant for my milling machine. I bought a PoKeys57U of which I am very pleased with the potential that it presents.
I'm from a few days trying to get in the LCD display the axis positions ago. I set up the lines of LCD using the plugin and the values are displayed on the LCD. The problem is that the value of the first row moves to the right and is truncated. In the other rows flicker seen in the numbers (reduced a little by changing the value of Communication rate to slow, but not disappear. Occasionally values disappear. I am using the demo version of Mach3 R3.043.066.
I've also tried to make a checkbox Map to User Label and write the following script:
SetUserLabel(100,"coord X " & Format(GetDRO(0), "+0.0000;-0.0000"))
SetUserLabel(101,"coord Y " & Format(GetDRO(1), "+0.0000;-0.0000"))
SetUserLabel(102,"coord Z " & Format(GetDRO(2), "+0.0000;-0.0000"))
The problem with this solution is that the values are not refreshed. To update I have to press RUN on the VB Script Editor.
Thanks for your help

Which version of PoKeys software and firmware do you have installed?
-
The firmware version is 4.1.43 and 3.1.66a software pokeys

There will be an update soon (this week if all goes well) that will solve this issue.
-
Thank you. I'll be aware.

I installed the new version of software Pokeys published today (3.1.67), but have not solved the problems with the LCD. The firmware version is the same (4.1.43), although in the log that is displayed when loading the software, some changes are reported in firmware version 4.1.44 ("LCD protected from IO pins updates"), but not I know where I can download.
The LCD display problems have increased: the characters of the first row is moved to the right, in the remaining rows some characters blink, appear strange signs in the blank spaces, ...
I tried to send the text from the LCD setup or by using the following VB script (macropump) with the same bad results :'(:
Dim Cadena As String
Dim Cadena1 As String
Dim Cadena2 As String
If GetOemLed(800) Then 'Reset LED 800
SetUserLabel(100,"PARADA DE EMERGENCIA!")
SetUserLabel(101,"Sin servicio!")
ElseIf GetOemLed(57) Then 'MPG Jog ON 57
SetUserLabel(100,"Modo MPG en:")
If GetOemLed(59) Then 'MPG 1 Jogs X axis LED 59
SetUserLabel(101, "X " & Format(GetDro(0), "+0.000;-0.000"))
ElseIf GetOemLed(60) Then 'MPG 1 Jogs Y axis LED 60
SetUserLabel(101, "Y " & Format(GetDro(1), "+0.000;-0.000"))
ElseIf GetOemLed(61) Then 'MPG 1 Jogs Z axis LED 61
SetUserLabel(101, "Z " & Format(GetDro(2), "+0.000;-0.000"))
End If

ElseIf GetOemLed(120) Then 'MPG jog multiple steps selected LED 120

End If
Cadena = Cadena1 & Cadena2
SetUserLabel(103,Cadena )
