PoKeys / new pokeys software: stange things???

« on: September 17, 2010, 01:00:39 PM »

hi,

I'd upgraded my pokeyssoftware (firmware and mach3 plug in) to the latest versions. but it seems my old configuration does not work anymore???. i upgraded pokeys firmware and now every time i start up the pc pokeys inputs disappeared and are changed automatically to fast encoders.

i think something went wrong with the new firmware

thanks antoine

PoKeys / high speed encoders

« on: March 06, 2010, 10:34:33 AM »

hi,

i have a pokey with an encoder connected to pin 1 and 2, nothing else is connected to it. if i configure it as a normal encoder every thing works well, but if i enable the high speed encoder option in the pokeys configuration screen the raw encoder values don't increase or decrease while the numbers 1 and 2 in the configuration screen blink while i am turning the encoder. i use the latest pokey software, i upgraded the firmware of the pokey and i use the latest mach version.

hope you help.

General Mach Discussion / using motoroutput as normal digital output

« on: November 19, 2008, 02:28:19 PM »

hi,

it is probably a silly question but I use mach with an I/O card with six motor outputs on it. for a my lathe i use only 2 of these motor outputs. what i need are a few more digital outputs to control things on my lathe. is it possible to use a normal motor output (step or direction) as a digital output.

thanks,

VB and the development of wizards / m6start.m1s starting with zero

« on: April 30, 2008, 11:06:21 AM »

Hi,

I am doing quite well with my ATC for my emcoturn120. actually the code is working completely as a button script. When I copy the code into the M6start macro, and I type T2 or another T6 request in the MDI the macrocode is executed but…..

If I type T6 in the MDI line, I would like to change to the sixed tool. How kan I pick up the wanted toolnumber in my m6start code. As soon as I type T6 and the M6start.m1s is executed the “newtool=getselectedtool()” is forced to zero.

Thanks for your reply.
