PoKeys / setting up input for oemcode

« on: November 25, 2009, 02:06:30 PM »

i am trying to set up the pokeys to do the following.i have two momentary buttons along side of an mpg. one button i wish to select the x axis, the other select the z axis.
i have set up oemtrigger 1 to be oemcode 59 for the x axis. oemtrigger2 is oemcode61 for the z axis. i have in ports and pins, oemtrigger1 port 10  pin1. oemtrigger2 port 10
pin2. how is the pokeys setup for this? i see in the pokeys software to set pin 1 as an input, pin2 as an input, but what after that? as a macro? keyboard shortcut? i am confused.

have you tried the output pins on it at all? set an output pin to port2 pin14 and test with a voltmeter  if it is switching on.is the port address correct?

try reinstalling a different driver. perhaps the 9815 driver. in mach3 do you have inputs enabled?

try changing the cv distance tolerance to .1 , and the stop cv on angles to 89 in general config.also depending on your speed and toolpath , polylines instead of arcs work more smooth.
