When you say remove it, just make sure it cant touch the machine case? Or mounted to the machine

Well on spindle i unplugged it from power, when it was doing the errors, thats why i say it shouldnt be that cuz it was throwing errors without power hooked to speed controller , its hooked to a ext cord an it was unplugged completely, when i continued to get errors before, so if i had it disconected that should eliminate that right? I dont know anyway it vould cause noise without power

A key stroke should be a keystroke whether it comes from keyboard or pad is my argument but you see how much ive been wrong so wouldn't surprize me

Hi,
that keyboard is going to need a plugin between its USB port and Mach.

I can help with individual push button switches, an MPG and that sort of thing but trying to write a plugin to interface with Mach is quite an undertaking,
its beyond my pay grade!

It shouldnt if its mapped to keystrokes, an my keystrokes in machs plugins are what i map it to,...but it may get returned if we can get it setup with switches, i already have my square momentary an on off switches an joysticks ready for install

How does it leak? It would have to be a short? I know for a fact its not in my spindle motor with it off it caused the error in previous post, but like i said its not been back but i understand it could return,...am i understanding you right to ground to 120v green to the machine? Im in usa so not sure where you are, but we use black hot, white common, green is ground

I belive when i hooked first pokeys up i ran a input into a output or something to thst nature tryn to figure out that inc jog button, thats when all hell broke loose, since then i have tried to get it stable but i think that pokeys fed into ess an messed it up, i figured it was the bob but i guess i was wrong it was ess or both, i am atleast error free now
