PoKeys / Mach only see's inputs when pockey software is running.
« on: April 27, 2011, 09:51:21 AM »
Hi,
I'm using pockey to connect a control panel on a retrofitted mill to mach3.
I use pots for feedrate override, spindle speed,push buttons for manual spindle cw ccw, and so on.
Everything works fine BUT very slowly. It takes 2 or 3 seconds to read a digital input also for analog. Another problem is mach will read the inputs only if the pokey software is running.
I run a pc that is only dedicaded to mach3, with smoothstepper , shuttlepro and pokeys as plugins.
Neddless to say i use latest versions of plugins and softwares.
Would be very nice if somebody could help.
Thank you
Mat.
