PoKeys / Re: Important function using Pokeys

Jeff, I second the E-Stop advice given by Boris, that should go to your hardware E-Stop circuit, nothing to stop you haveing a double pole E-Stop and also using it for Mach notification as well via the PoKeys but I would certainly not rely on that alone just as I would not rely on the software approach with any other device whether direct Parallel Port or anything else.
For the FeedHold, if you are using the Parallel Port it should work fine, if using the SmoothStepper then you will need to wait for a new plugin and the next rev of Mach. I have been testing both and they are almost at the stage for release so hopefully they will be soon.
All other buttons will work fine.
