PoKeys / Re: Pokeys57E motion problem - Solved

« on: January 08, 2015, 03:04:03 AM »

Hi Matevž,

I think I found a suitable environment for Mach3 R3.043.066 and Pokeys57E plugin v3.1.42. below was an experiment that I did.

I went to my desktop computer, installed all needed software and tried them. After several testing, there's NO symptom of bad motion. I noticed that PC has only single network card.
I came back to my previous two notebooks and disabled wireless network then tried them. Surprisingly, I found a solution. (at least for the time being)

At this point, I think that the sub-network of wireless is different than other two devices and causes the problem. Or there are some of other things which I don't know and I hope that you guys can find out and solve it permanently.

I connect Pokesy57E directly to Ethernet port with single cable, not through switching hub.
Yes, mostly I do the dry run, I have 2 LED attached to show step/direction signals, there is no interference issue.

thank you,
Weerasak

steps per unit is 2500
velocity is 1600
acceleration is 300

I connected a servo driver to y axis and put it on workbench, rather on real machine.

Nop, only mach3 and Pokeys Plugin is running on the notebook computer.
I also did a clean up as suggested in http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,28213.0.html

I also did a fresh installation for mach3 and Pokeys software on new notebook computer and it gave same problem.
However, I might try them on desktop computer. I don't know what environment of this plugin is developed in, which made software behaves differently between yours and mine.

PoKeys / Pokeys57E motion problem

« on: January 03, 2015, 01:23:37 AM »

Currently, I have motion problem as shown in video clip below. I use Mach3 R3.043.066 with pokeys57E plugin v3.1.42 and v3.1.17.
The motion path would jump off G-code path and step signal was also jerking, the problem can happen at any time, sometime I could run G-code cross.tap for 2 or 3 times before symptom arrive.
I use External 4ch without IO and with other features like LCD, PWM, Encoder and PoExtBus
I tried to locate the bug by changing configurations such as
- change plugin version
- change notebook computer
- change OS between Windows 7 and XP
- turn on and off LCD, PWM, and Encoder
So far I have no luck.

PoKeys / Pokeys57E with LCD enable problem

« on: November 06, 2014, 12:16:56 AM »

I have problems where pulsing is not smoother, graphic on tool path window and x, y, z DRO value run away from actual value.

It took me few days to track down this problem. I did change several things such as PC, Windows version, Pokeys setting before I spot problem when I disable LCD feature then the problem is gone.

I have designed a BOB for Pokeys, named PoBOB, which allows users to attache LCD on the bottom of BOB in case they want to attach it in the back of panel. I conducted several tests, including LCD. However during one test, I didn't realize having removed LCD from Pokeys could cause mentioned problem.

Here is my prototype and introduction in Thai

I hope next version of Plugin will detect whether LCD attach or not.
