PoKeys / Two pokeys?

« on: September 29, 2011, 11:02:19 AM »

Hello, can I use two pokeys with mach3? Now I'm using one (USB first version pokeys) for my pendant and I would like to use one for my buttons in control panel because I have no more I/O left. I'm using DSPMC V1 with all of my inputs and outputs. Thanks.

Hello all,
on my pendant I have momentary switch connected to OEMTRIGGER5. How can I make this switch to activate output5 (output must stay active) and then with the same button deactivate output5? I've been trying this all day with no luck. Can somebody please help?

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Pokeys and MPG

« on: January 25, 2011, 12:21:24 PM »

Hello,

can somebody please help me with my home made pendant. I'm using pokeys and I have connected Mpg to input pins 1 and 2. All of the functions are working (LCD, start, stop, pause, axis selector, x1, x10, x100) except MPG. In mach3 settings page I can see MPG counts but axis dont move. What could be the problem?

VB and the development of wizards / Macro M6 safety

« on: June 15, 2010, 04:34:01 PM »

Hello, I need help with my M6start macro. My spindle has these outputs:

spindle stopped - input14 is active
spindle running - input14 not active
tool in spindle - input13 is active
spindle chuck is open - input12 is active

Now I would like to put in some safety. I would like not to do a toolchange if the spindle is running, and also if the tool is stuck in spindle. I noticed yesterday that the tool was stuck in spindle after long cutting. That could be disaster if machine was doing toolchange.
So please can someone help me what code do I need to put in my M6 macro and where in code to prevent this to happen. Attached is the M6 macro. Thanks.
