PoKeys / PWM output for Spindle

« on: October 18, 2012, 03:57:59 AM »

Gents,

Pokeys56U running fine, in and outputs are working fine, but i want to use the pokeys to output the PWM signal to drive the spindle frequency converter ( 0- 5 Vdc ). It would be nice to get a 10kHz PWM signal instead of the  mach3 PWM signal of 200Hz.

Opened the pokeys configuration, PWM tab, selected pin 17..... then you have to make select a DRO that i can guess but are not clear to me. Ive tried 10 or so but no result.  I guess i have to select the option "DRO in %" first and than the right DRO that sends the % PWM to the output ?

(Ive tested the PWM signal on the scope and in the "fixed" setting it worked) 

what am i missing ?

Thanks,

PoKeys / Mach 3 setup with Pulse engine

« on: April 24, 2012, 03:01:56 AM »

Guys, help.... i must be missing something easy but i can not get it to work.

- pokeys hooked up to drivers and new firmware, connection lan network
- mach 3 latest plugin and pulse engine set up properly including activation code
- motors run using the pokeys software directly.....but not in mach 3 ...?

Mach 3 setup of motor to Port 10 pin 38 and 46.

It seems that mach 3 does not recognizes the port 10, but this was the way the usb version was recognised.

jogging is not possible.  

What am i missing?
