General Mach Discussion / USB pendant button association ?

« on: November 23, 2012, 03:22:46 AM »

Hi,
  I bought a usb pendant:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180991754618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

The jog keys I can assign through the hotkeys drop down and they work fine,but how do I find out the key number on the other keys?
I assume once ive got them I can assign the buttons on my screenset to them.
I have tried the keygrabber in test mod4e and it brings up the number on my keyboard,but dosnt do anything with the pendant? Although I dont have a clue how to set the keygrabber up!
 
   Any clues?

   Tony

Well I ended up having to go at 60k kernal speed to get it to sync. surprised the computer would run it as its a good 10 years old!

My set up seems to have developed a glitch.
in motor tunings the speeds are correct,Ive checked that with motor rpm /measurements.
But the DRO's on the home page are approx 32% too fast.
this is something that has happened recently,ive tried reinstalling but that hasnt worked.
 any Ideas?

you could quite simplty tape a photo transistor over the gecko led and use it to trigger an imput to mach, same theory as an optoisolator.
