Hi James,

I am pleased you have it sorted.

(I have quite a few different software licenses and I keep secure copies in a folder which is duplicated and synced in a number of different places within my network - and in an emergency I still can't find the license I need  )

Is anybody know what this module does? Does it convert PWM to voltage 0 ~ 10V?

No, not really, The sequence of events are as follows;

1) Check the input pin for a PWM signal.

2) If no signal is present then send a 1mS pulse to the output pin (this enables the GCode M3 / M5 to operate correctly and also stops the spindle in the event that E-Stop is activated).

3) If a signal is present then measure the duty cycle (pulse width). This is best done with 16 bit precision (mainly because we are measuring in uS and outputting in mS – a factor difference of 1000).

4) Scale the duty cycle’s pulse width (0 to 100%) - again working 16 bits into a proportionate 1 to 2mS output pulse (the actual, maximum, duty cycle pulse width in uS will depend on the Mach3 PWM base frequency chosen).

5) Send the output pulse to the output pin.

6) All this is then repeated forever within a timed 20mS loop.

Hi James,

If you purchased your license from Artsoft then your license will be resent to the email address you used to purchase your license - check that your resend license is not in your email spam folder.

Hi Tony,

The Wiki was taken down about a year ago at the same time the forum went awry and as far as I am aware it has never been reinstated.

The keyboard jog keys have ASCII values of;

left 37, up 38, right 39, down 40, pageup 33, pagedown 34   if you add 1024 to these values that makes them the same as shift+key.

Can you re-configure your joypad with the revised values ?
