PoKeys / Pokeys as MPG screen flickers

« on: May 11, 2014, 01:07:18 PM »

At this moment I'm using a pokeys (56U) as input device only for a MPG.

The MPG works. I'm able to control all three axes. However at each mpg tick the Mach3 screen flickers. (using MACH3 ver. 3.043).

Only the Mach3 screen flickers, the menu bar and others windows are not flickering.

Regards,

Mark

PoKeys / mach3 and PoBlocks by Shared Slots

« on: April 20, 2014, 06:55:15 AM »

Hi,

I'm trying to use the pokeys to control the spindel speed on Lathe.
Accoording the pokey pulse engine manual this should be possible (see pag 27).

"......Custom operations can be performed on data from various PoKeys peripherals and result forwarded to Mach3 (e.g. spindle speed calculation, product counting, PID control with reference set by Mach3, ..."

However I'm not able to find any information how this should be done. Were can I find this info ?

Thanks
