You activate the keyboard under mpg an it sets up with out all of that,...least mine did, still tryn to figure how to use some of the buttons tho

i bought the PoNET kbd48cnc Keyboard for a 57cnc board an im running Mach 4, but there manual is for Mach3 so not allot of help, i got it sync to device with solid green light on keyboard an i tested it with the LED wave test when you press a button an its working but only in POKEYS software.... i sent to device when i was done....  an thats it,  dont know what else to do,  i need some help on how to setup the rest i guess, i was told its plug an play but im missing a few steps i guess,... dont see a driver for it for mach 4 either so im stuck

Mach4 General Discussion / Pokeys 57cnc

I'm using Mach 4 with pokeys 57cnc,... I got limits an home switches setup right to work together,  but when i home it,  it doesn't back off so if I try to jog it will activate a limit error,... I can get it to back off in the Mach settings using the back off function,... I set it to like 2.00 or - 2.00 on some an it fixes my issue but leaves my dro now not Zeroed,... I don't want to have to hit zero every time I home my machine,... What's the fix for this or is it not gonna throw off all my gcode,....

You would simply use different API commands such as mc.mcCntlCycleStart or mc.mcCntlEnable, in the docs directory you will find a help file called Mach4CoreAPI which contains all references to the LUA API.

so i tried this an still it gives errors,,..

if mc.mcSignalGetState (mc.mcSignalGetHandle (inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT2)) == 1 then
   mc.mcCntlEnable(inst)
else
 --   Do something else

Error while running chunk
C:\Mach4Hobby\ScreenScript.lua:573: wxLua: Expected a 'number' for parameter 2, but got a 'no value'.
Function called: 'mcCntlEnable(number)'
01. mcCntlEnable(number, number)
stack traceback:

   C:\Mach4Hobby\ScreenScript.lua:573: in function <C:\Mach4Hobby\ScreenScript.lua:442>


end

Using the keyboard Inputs in the PLC for Outputs

https://youtu.be/yzaf5pT0l50

The Code

 HOW DO I CHANGE THIS TO WORK AS  ''Enable", or "Cycle Start"
i tried changing the text around to cycle start or enable  but it throws errors, i got the rest working using your youtube vid but to change it to other button functions i seem to be unable to get around the lua scripts

Code: [Select]
if mc.mcSignalGetState (mc.mcSignalGetHandle (inst, mc.ISIG_INPUT63)) == 1 then
    mc.mcCntlFeedHold(inst)
else
 --   Do something else
end

ALSO I KNOW there is keyboard functions in keyboard plugin but there jog functions no cycle starts or any other button functions that i could see

10
THIS IS CODE NOW....

[mc.ISIG_INPUT10] = function (state) --Anytime the state of input 1 changes, run this function
    if (state == 1) then --Input one is active
        CycleStart() --Run the CycleStart() function
    --else --Input one is inactive
        --mc.mcCntlFeedHold (0) --Do a feed hold
    end

end,

SO I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AN I KNOW THIS ISNT RIGHT BUT JUST SO YOU CAN SEE MY IDEA OF WHAT I WANT...

[mc.ISIG_KEYSTROKE F1]= function (state) --Anytime the state of input 1 changes, run this function
    if (state == 1) then --Input one is active
        CycleStart() --Run the CycleStart() function
    --else --Input one is inactive
        --mc.mcCntlFeedHold (0) --Do a feed hold
    end

end,
