Glad you got it at least running for you.

I have not yet tried setting up an MPG on the Pokeys device yet so unfortunately I'll be no help in that area, sorry-

Hi Per,

"lol" means "laughing out loud" , it's because we're lazy and don't want to type more than we have to...lol!

As for the plugin enabling, when you have Mach 3 open, go to the upper menu and click "Config" then drop down to "Config Plugins" and a little window should come up showing a list of plugins that you have installed.

If Pokeys is installed correctly, it should say Pokeys I/O by Art Fennerty" or something like that. Under the Enabled column, click the red X to make it a green check mark and that will enable it for you. Close down Mach3 and restart it and that should now be enabled for you.

Boris, where on the board is the serial number?  If it's on the underside of it, that means I'm going to have to uninstal it from my system box. Do I really have to take it all apart to see the underside of the board?

The software serial number is 10030.

I can also confirm that this is indeed version V1.9.4

Boris, I will check to be positive but yes, I this is the latest software upgrade. Be back soon-

Little more info on this. I'm not getting any lit LEDs on the diagnostics page in Mach 3 when clicking the home switches.

PoKeys / New firmware issue-

« on: November 08, 2008, 09:28:08 AM »

Hi all, I have just completed the latest upgrade and now my home switches are not functioning. I even loaded my saved profile to see if that would help but nothing.

When I have the Pokeys software open, and I click one of the home switches, it shows the pin number (55 is what the switches are connected to) go from red to green which shows that the signal is there but not doing the actual function in Mach 3. Also when I click to Tools button in the Pokeys software and then click a home switch, it shows from off to on which looks normal as well.

Is it possible that the Port and pin address has been changed in the latest plug in that I just upgraded to?

I had it working perfectly with Port 10, pin 55 for these switches.

Thanks,
Dave

lol, you guys are a trip, I will definitely figure out a way to meet you one way or another. Maybe I'll be womanish and ask what you'll be wearing that day - 

My wife will be with me so you'll have to be nice to me 

Oh, and my beer is always cold, keg or the backup case.....
