Hi guys I have the mach3 lockdown version , pokeys56e, the beta version of pokeys driver . I am trying to hook up the 48 matrix keyboard to Mach 3 . I am as far as seeing the plugin in Mach 3 . But whe I go to add a new pokeys device my matrix keyboard is not listed in the drop down menu , nothing is listed . Do I need the current development Mach 3 or is lockdown fine to use. Also note I have not activated the pokeys device with a password yet . I thought that was only for pulsing . Please help , thanks

You should check that you have the latest development (not lockdown) version of Mach3. This step is essential.
Then, you should be able to see your PoKeys56E device in the dropdown list in 'Add new device' dialog - you have to add the PoKeys device first and then configure the matrix keyboard that you are using (are you referring to the kbd48CNC keyboard or a generic matrix keyboard?).

kbd48CNC is the board I am using
I will download the latest development version and give it a try today .
thanks for the reply NeoTO

In this case, you will need to register the kbd48CNC keyboard with the PoKeys software first as described in the manual. Then the keyboard will be detected also by Mach3 plugin.

I updated to development and activated the pokeys . Still nothing at add new device screen . Do I also have to activate the keyboard somehow
