PoKeys / Jog Scale Switch not working ...
« on: October 17, 2010, 09:31:30 AM »
Hi,
I've just hooked up my poscope pendant to my pokey, which is configured in Mach3. Everything is the latest software version, and I can move my axes when the enable switch is pressed, but not when it isn't. I presume this is correct. However the scale switch makes no difference to any operation. I've checked that it's setting the right inputs in the PoKeys diagnostics in Mach3. Is these some trick to making this work? I've double checked the manuals (which, BTW, don't highlight all the config settings required).
Also, I've connected the pendant led to pokey pin 14, but it doesn't seem to indicate anything useful it's on even when jogging isn't enabled via the pushbutton. Is it meant to be useful? (And I've tested my previous problem both with and without pin 14 connected, not that I think that should make any difference).
Thanks in advance,
Antony Blakey
