PoKeys55 and MPG Pendant
« on: July 13, 2010, 05:24:50 PM »
Hi All,

I built a simple pendant with (2) three position rotaty switches for Axis select and Step select. I set them up (on PoKeys) as digital inputs on pins 6 thru 11. I have a single pushbutton, pin 5, selecting MPG Jog mode.  These all work fine as expected. I have an MPG wired up to my Pokeys pin 1 and 2.  I set up both the Encoder 1 and MPG #1 in 'Ports & Pins' to Port 10, Pins 1 for A and 2 for B. When I rotate the MPG, I get cycling on the 'IO Status' screen and the 'Encoder RAW Value' screen, but no physical axis cycling. I tried enabling "Enable Fast Encodors' Pins 2-3, 4-5 and 15-16' to no avail. Can anyone help?

Hi!

Sorry for late answer. Recently there was a manual published on www.poscope.com

also, Make sure you are in "MPG" Jog mode in Mach if your running a self made pendant.

i.e. hit the TAB key and look on the jog flyout, there is a button for cycle jog type, push it until the MPG led is on, then below that select what axis your jogging with it.
