PoKeys / Re: New plugin and analog inputs
« on: April 11, 2012, 09:56:29 AM »
Analog inputs are not yet supported in new plugin. The support for analog inputs will be added soon.

Use the DRO 101.

I've tested it and it should behave like this:
- on index pin rising or falling signal front, the counter is reset. It should not keep resetting.

There was a small bug regarding the inputs for the encoder. Please install the plugin in the attachment.

To use the MPG in Mach3, enable the MPG in the Mach3 MPG/encoder settings. Leave pin A and B fields at 0.

Be aware that PoKeys Mach3 plugin uses buffered mode commands. The buffer depth is 128 ms. Also, communication between Mach3 and PoKeys56U is limited to about 100-200 Hz. Even more, the communication is very undeterminate (uneven delays) and you should not use the PoKeys device in the control loop.

Position of the encoder can be read back by plugin and sent to Mach, but this can not be used for control of the position.

Forget about ports and pins if you are using PoKeys plugin in Mach3. These are limited to pins present on the LPT port and have nothing to do with PoKeys devices.

Go to plugin configuration and click on the tab 'Encoders'. Configure one of the encoders by selecting which pins on PoKeys device you have connected your MPG to. Then just select the desired Mach3 DRO.

Hi, txpto. At the moment, PoKeys can not drive servo motors directly, but you can read encoder values and set PWM outputs in your application (not via Mach3 unfortunately).
Ultra fast encoder should go beyond 1 MHz, while fast encoders should handle 10-50 kHz. The exact maximum frequency is hard to define due to it being dependant on the other activated features.

MPG is an encoder, so you should setup one of the encoders and map it to appropriate Mach3 DRO.

Can you try this one? Just open the configuration, review it again and click OK.
Pins were not set as inputs by default.

You should only use Mach3 plugin configuration dialog for proper setup. PoKeys configuration tool in this case is mainly used for diagnostics.
