Two pokeys?
« on: September 29, 2011, 11:02:19 AM »
Hello, can I use two pokeys with mach3? Now I'm using one (USB first version pokeys) for my pendant and I would like to use one for my buttons in control panel because I have no more I/O left. I'm using DSPMC V1 with all of my inputs and outputs. Thanks.

Anyone ever tried using two pokeys? I found this in mach3 plugin update file

Update 7.6: 04Nov2009:

1).    Added the ability to Use upto 4 PoKeys simultaneously!!!!
   Devide IDs of the 4 PoKeys are: 0,1,2, and 3, there are
   4 "DLLs" for your use, one for each potiential PoKey.
   PoKey0.dll, PoKey1.dll, PoKey2.dll, PoKey2.dll
   This expands the IO potiential and functions to:
        220 Digital IO, upto 16 Analogs (4 of those can be converted to
   Analog output for spindles), 4 LCDs, 4 Matrix Keyboards 8x8,
   Encoders by the truck loads, 12 PWMs

The plugin Brian is working on can have if I recall up to 32 PoKeys connected, sadly its just in the Beta stages at the moment. All types can be used with it PK55, PK56U and PK56E

Thanks Hood for answer. This plugin and update was made by Polabs to use four pokeys in Mach3. Is anyone else had tried to use multi pokeys or know if it works?

The old plugin was made Scott Schaffer Poppabear, new plugin is made By Brian.
PoLabs did not write any plugin.
