General Mach Discussion / Operate edge finder buttons with POkeys

« on: June 15, 2012, 01:41:40 AM »

Im trying to activate the X,Y and Z edge finder buttons in the offset screen with  external PB switches. I can't find a OEM code but did find that the buttons runs a couple lines of code like  [Code "G92.2"
Call SetDRO(1, ABS(GetOEMDRO(1000))/(-2))]. Can I some how map this to a OEM code or save the code to a macro and then some how map a input to run these 3 macros.

Thanks

PoKeys / Re: NEW: 'Official' PoKeys Mach3 Plugin - 'beta' version v0.01

« on: June 10, 2012, 02:50:38 PM »

I have a POKEYS 55 board. I had it working on a pc in the house with Mach3 on it. I went to put it on the PC that is on the cnc machine yesterday and noticed there was a new plug in for mach3. I installed that and it is so easy now to configure compared to the old software except I cant get it to work. My Mach is version 3.042.040 not the latest but didn't want to updated in case I lost some settings, the firmware in the pokeys 55 has been updated to the latest which seems to be 2.1.21 and the software is 3.0.30. The board works if I just use the software but I must have done something wrong with the Mach3 plug in.

Thanks
Geoff
