I have .NET 3.5 installed on my machine and I tried to Reset device set. but the window still did not come up. Anyway, I use that WinXP laptop now. I might try to also install Mach on a Win10 tablet later and see if that windows comes up.

That option is "PoExtBus on pin 35,36,37". I have problems with pins 36,37,38.
But anyway. that option was unchecked in my case. So I also unchecked "Use PoExtBus", set pins 36,37,38 to inverted inputs (that's what I use for limit switched), sent it to device and closed PoKeys App. Then I started Mach and after it got loaded, I again started PoKeys App. "Use PoExtBus" was selected again (PoExtBus on Pins 35,36,37 was unchecked) and pins 36,37,38 were again set as non-inverted outputs. If 36,37,38 can't be stopped to be set as outputs on Mach start then I'll have to use different pins. Although I would really like to know why it's being set as outputs.

PoKeys / Pins 36,37,38 are set to outputs when External 4ch without IO is used

First of all, I made a device reset and did a clean install of mach3 (also deleted PoKeysMachConfig.xml in ApplicationData folder). I have my limit switches + probe on pins 34-40. I was following pokeys mach3 setup document and after I set pulse engine to External 4ch without IO and restarted mach, pins 36,37,38 got set as outputs. 34,35,39 and 40 stay as inputs. If I close mach and open pokeys app and set pins 36,37,38 to inputs and then start mach then they again are set as outputs. I even tried to actually configure limit switches on pulse engine tab in mach but those 3 pins stay as outputs.
Before reinstall I had it working but was experiencing the same thing. Every time I started Mach I had to go to pokeys config and click OK, after that limit switches were working fine until I restarted Mach and found those 3 pins to be outputs again. Are those pins somehow reserved when External 4ch without IO (PoExtBusOC16CNC) is used? Using Pokeys57E.

PoKeys / Pokeys57E Mach3 Win10 64bit

« on: April 29, 2016, 07:15:56 AM »

Hi,

I am trying to use Mach 3 on Win10 64bit with Pokeys57E and PoExtBusOC16CNC. I have followed Mach3 setup guide up to the point where I selected "Extrernal 4ch without IO" in Pulse Engine tab and restarted Mach3. Mach should detect a new motion control hardware and present a window where I can select Pokeys-Polabs control device. That window is not coming up though.
I did the same procedure on WinXP and the window showed up and motion control was working. So is there is a way to make it also work in Win10?
