PoKeys / More than 20 outputs with pokeys & mach?

« on: January 26, 2009, 03:41:53 AM »

As i can see in the "output settings" on mach3,
there are no more than 20 outputs# to be used.
How can i have more outputs?
I just want to use my pokeys to activate and deactivate 40 outputs.

Finally a sollution was found.
I communicated with the software creator.
I just put [13][10] between the commands and at the output file, the commands are on separate lines:

FIRST_RAPID_RATE_MOVE  = "G0 [X] [Y] [Z]"
FIRST_FEED_RATE_MOVE   = "M1001[13][10]M1002[13][10]M1003"
FEED_RATE_MOVE         = "[X] [Y]"

Thank you for the replays.

Actually i can't do it with the post processor, while i don't really know the code.
; Program moves
;
FIRST_RAPID_RATE_MOVE  = "G0 [X] [Y] [Z]"
FIRST_FEED_RATE_MOVE   = "M1001"
FEED_RATE_MOVE         = "[X] [Y]"

This is what it says.
I changed at first feed rate move the commant "G1 [X] [Y] [Z] [F]" with M1001.
Any ideas?

I use a pin at the parallel port.
Passes through a buffer 74hct244, then controls an optocoupler, which holds a realy.

My post processor gives some commands in a row.
Mach3 seems not to understand commands in one row, (like that: M1001 M1002 M1003) These are macros.
Is that right?
Is there any way to make it understand? (Maybe by putting between the macros a factor or so...)

OK.
Was fixed with a brain as shown to the attached bitmap, (just saying if anyone wants to do the same.)
This software is amazing. Think of something you want to do with a 6 axis software and you can do it immediatelly...
Thanks mach3....  he he
