@msv: Please download the latest version of the plugin available at http://www.poscope.com/news/?n=8. Does it work as it should?

I have tried that too, but without any success. Can i just change the .dll file in the plugin folder, or is it something there i do wrong?
I have followed the instruction for the mach3 plugin, but is there any more detailed instruction available??

Thanks!

Yes, you should just copy the new Pokeys.dll file into the plugins folder and replace the older one.

This is the 'alpha' release of the plugin. We are preparing the plugin for the final release that will be accompanied with the proper installation and a manual also.

You will not see it there, only some plugins are accessed via that menu. The Pokeys one is accessed via Config menu then Config Plugins then you click on the config at the side of it.

Thanks, then i am right there!
Do i need to run the Pokeys utility to set the outputs, and then run that in the background?

No.
You need plugin only.

Thanks for your help, folks!

Ok, i do like this:
1. I put the plugin dll-file in the mach3 plugin folder.
2. Start Mach3, go to pluginconfig, enable the plugin
3. Click on the Pokeys device config button.
4. Enable and config some buttons.
5. Nothing happens when i push the buttons on the pendant!
I have tried to restart Mach3 between 2 & 3 and 3 & 4

But when i start the Pokeys utility and configure the outputs, i get response from the pendant in mach3, with the problem i mentioned abowe. The axis will not stop jogging when i release the button.

Did you restart Mach after you enabled the plugin?
You may also need to restart after you make changes although I am not sure about that but worth a try.
