As far as I know, Brian is working hard to fully support the keyboard in the next plugin version.

Matevž,
Have you heard of any updates on this plug in?

Is there at least somekind of guide how to program all the buttons? Manual doesn't particularly cover it.

The buttons, (and LED's),  are automatically configured in Mach once it's hooked up. I actually BRIEFLY had mine working and it was awesome.
I'm not exactly sure what I did to get it working or why it stopped working but....guess we'll have to wait for the new plug-in.


A bit off topic but, I did notice that my new pokeys 56U does NOT have a battery in the allocated space for one on the board....
Is this normal?  If not, does anyone know what size/style should be in there?

I recommend, you post on the Yahoo Group, and ask Brian there directly what the status of the new plugin is.

Scott

Thanks Scott....will do

Be sure to use the mach3 development version : Mach3 R3.043.053.

That is the version of Mach that I am using...with the pokeys 10.6.4 plugin and still don't have this thing working.. I set up the Mach config screen for "use matrix keyboard" with 6 columns, 8 rows and assigned the proper pins etc.....did the same in the pokeys software but I am missing something somewhere. If I go to the pokeys diagnostic screen in Mach, I can see leds blinking like crazy as if I am pushing buttons but......By the way, I am using the keypad with a pokeys 56U if that matters

Okay, I bought one of these and I can't get it to talk to Mach....it's powered up and the ready led is on steady so all is good there.  However, in the Mach pokeys config screen, I don't have the option to check the "use cnc keys with led's" box that the pokeys help me says is supposed to be there. What am I doing wrong?

Scott,
 Any update on availability of these ?
I was also wondering if a button could be programmed to do something else, (ex. Regen Toolpath), by the user.

Nevermind , I found them on the polabs website.......Apparantly they are NOT compatible with my pokeys 55T, or am I mistaken?

Scott,
I just wanted to report back and say "Thanks". I got it working following your instructions and I would have never figured it out without your input.
Thanks again,
Marc
