PoKeys / Mach4 Pokeys57CNC Input/Output Mapping PLEASE HELP!

« on: May 05, 2017, 02:17:26 AM »

I have a home built CNC Router running on Pokeys57CNC and newly installed Mach4.  I would like to have an external NO switch control Relay1 output on the Pokeys57CNC.  I have setup all the inputs and outputs in the Pokeys plugin and in Mach4 setup screens.  It is my understanding that I am going to have to write LUA scripts to make this, and other things like it, work in Mach4...

I have read hours upon hours of posts and forum topics over the past few weeks, and manuals for Mach4 and Pokeys57CNC, and I can't for the life of me figure this out!!  If anyone has done this, can you please post an example of the LUA script so I can try to make sense of what I need to do.  My thought is, if I can see an example of one, I can probably figure out how to do the other stuff I need to do, like program Relay2, and SSR1, and SSR2.  I also have an MPG hooked up, along with some rotary switches for axis and Step multiplier functions that I would like to hook up.  BTW, what happened to the MPG flyout in Mach4?  I know in Mach3 you hit the tab key and the MPG screen would come up.....can't figure that out in Mach4....

I know this is a lot of information for one post, but ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!  I know what I want to do can be done, just can't wrap my head around the LUA stuff without some guidance.

Thank you in advance for any help!
