PoKeys / Re: Adventures in Pokeys
« on: June 26, 2013, 08:56:26 AM »
Well, let's try the blind trying to lead the blind.
In my test yesterday the reset button worked as it should, even while the code was running.
I really became determined to find out what setting I had wrong when Matevz assured me that the software was working for others. I now assure you that it does work as you expect, you have some conflicting setting.
When I had a hard time trying to get mine to work, I kept thinking there was some setting in Mach 3 that had to be changed. But that is not true.
Since you keep referring to the encoder as an MPG, I'm wondering if you have MPG 2 turned on in Mach's native setup? If so, try turning it off. Undo any changes you made in Mach trying to make this work.
Getting this to work needs nothing but the Mach 3 Pokeys plug-in!

Just ran code with feeds of 5 and 15 ipm in it and the FRO worked fine, both increasing and decreasing.
From what little I know, check the last column on the first Mach 3 Pokeys setup screen. The column is labeled I/O. I have it set to input #1. That was the first I tried and it worked so maybe other settings work.
Then on the encoder page of the same setup, I have the encoder routed to OEM Dro 821.
What the encoder changes is the Feed Rate OVER-RIDE. It modifies the the feedrate by a percentage in both directions; under and over.
It sounds to me like somehow you have the encoder routed to the Feed RATE.
Hope this helps. Let me know, I need/want to learn all I can about this puppy.

Hi,
I've been so intent on building my control board that I haven't tried running code. I will do it today and let you know what happens. Maybe we can solve it together.

I'm thinking Pokeys is a cool little board and I'm sure that it will do more than this old fart can learn.
Thanks to Matevz and Tantan for trying to help. I'm sure that the results of the config files I sent to Matevz will be what I've now done.
As for the documentation of Pokeys and the Mach 3 plug-in, well you can judge that from the posts in this topic.
Thanks, I'm smiling ;D ;D :) :) :)

I have it working!
A few posts back I asked about the config column labeled "I/O" since I had it set to None and was that correct. I got no answer to that question which is typical; ask two or three questions in a post and you might get an answer to one.
Anyway, on a wild guess I put input #1 in that column and now the encoder works.
Now I'll finish the board design and wire it all permenantly. I'm thinking there will be no problem with buttons and leds.

The Config files are on the way.

No Matevz,
At this point the system is totally minimal, temporary wiring, testing phase.
I have two joysticks controlling 3 axis; working.
One pot controlling Rapids Over-ride, working.
One encoder, so far controlling nothing.
The pot was easy to switch Dro's to test that they will change, but now I have it back to Rapid over-ride.
Nothing else connected, there are no conflicts.
It seems Mach does not see the encoder.
Does Polabs have a working model of this; Mach 3 and Pokeys with an encoder?
It should be easy for you to test, no hardware needed except Pokeys.

That's my problem; It doesn't  work!
I must have some parameter in Mach set wrong but I can't find it.
I've tried several Dro's that are on my screen but I can't get any of them to move with the encoder. They will all move with a pot but not the encoder.

Hi Tantan,
Yes!
