PoKeys / Pokeys55 Errors / Lags / Slow Reaction in Mach 3
« on: May 23, 2011, 07:17:31 AM »
Hello!
first off all i am from austria (Europe) so my english isnt the best
the second thing is:
I am using Mach 3 for CNC Control and a Pokeys55 but i have some big issues with it,
when i connect some Leds, Buttons, or an MPG Encoder on it i can see the Signals in the I/O Windows in Pokeys Software normaly and fast without any lag etc.
My Problem starts with Mach3 now, if i dont start the Pokeys Config Software Mach 3 doesnt get Input Signals from the Pokeys?!
only when i start it i get Signals...
my second Problem is then the Encoder for MPG 1, if the Pokeys Software windows is *behind* oder minimized and Mach 3 in the front i Dont get any Signal from the MPG A/B Channel, only when i put mach 3 and Pokey software together on desktop it seems i get signal but i get not only 1 *Step* in the calibrate Window i get 62, the funnyest thing is i can see in the I/O Window in Mach 3 that the Encoder Signal comes in but in the mpg Window it doesnt do anything only when the Pokeys software is in the front...
i use an 30 step encoder wich work on Parallelport without this problems,
My Mach 3 version is R3.042.020, with Plugin Add on 10.6.4 and last Pokeys Version
maybe someone can give me a tip?
i reading many posts here but nothin sounds like my problem
bye
