PoKeys / Re: New plugin and analog inputs

« on: June 10, 2012, 03:47:14 PM »

Hi,

I have the same problem. Is there any help available at the moment?
I do need the analog inputs, so perhaps I could switch back to an older
plugin. My Pokeys are updated to V3.030.

Thanks,
Wolfram

The 'beta' version of the plugin, released 10 days ago, support analog inputs.

How do you want to control these outputs?

You can open the device configuration in the PoKeys plugin dialog and assign a
* 'OEM LED' to PoExtBus mapping (controlling the outputs with various signals in Mach3)
* Mach3 standard input/output to PoExtBus mapping (controlling the outputs with various signals in Mach3 or G-code commands)
* Mach3 IO device to PoExtBus mapping (controlling the outputs with VB script)

Hi, Mikael

The plugin release is scheduled in a week or two.

At the moment you are not able to read or write PoKeys IO via vbscript. This will however change with the new plugin version.

In the meantime, you can map the PoKeys pin to a unused OEM LED and use it in the brain.

Regards,
Matevž

Hi, Coolkidz

We are working to bring this in the next plugin release. You will be able to read and set PoKeys IO via vbscript.
