Hi, Like the title of my post, would like to use a pokey device to increase and decrease RPM and Feed, 10% each time I push the appropriate button. I could have one button to go up and one to go down with 10% increment.
Thanks

Yes, that should be a pretty simple thing to do. :)

I do that through OEM Triggers and buttonss on my lathes control panel at the moment so using the Pokey would be exactly the same as instead of using the parallel port for the input like I have it woould be the PoKey. I use a simple brain and if I keep the button pressed it will go up through the FRO range, another button puts it down and yet another resets it to 100%
However you may wish to wait a bit as I believe the plugin for the encoders and analogue inoputs on the PoKeys is getting nearing completion. Once that is done you can fit a pot so that the FRO would be infinitely variable instead of just a % step.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I will wait for the pokey's update. Do you know how long this could take.

Should be soon, Art has it sort of done I think, but Borisz needs to do some tweaks in the PoKeys before its right.
