Alex,

I tried your solution, honestly didn't get anywhere(most likely because missed something), but what I did encounter was my Single Block stopped working, any ideas?

Thanks,
Russ

Russ,

go to pokeys plugin configuration. -->  kbd48cnc-->
CycleStart  --> Function= Key --> LED = 1990 --> Button = none   ( maybe inverted can't see it here )
FeedHold    --> Function= Key --> LED = 1992 --> Button = none   ( maybe inverted can't see it here )

Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = 1991 --> Button = none --> inverted      ( external Cycle Start button )
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = 1993 --> Button = none --> inverted      ( external Feed Hold button )


is working fine here so far, accept I have no  kbd48cnc.

see pict. of the brain I used

Alex

Thanks! Seems to work good now with both buttons operating correctly. Have not tested Single Block yet however.

Got another question also, probably wrong section for it, but its same thing, i have buttons connected thru pokeys56u, and i would like to be able to jog with them same way you can with arrow keys/pg up/down, but only way it works right now if you press button the table moves by itself until you press button again, which is not very safe, i want  it to move only when button is pressed. Any idea what # button to use for these?

Thanks,
Russ

Glad you got it so far
to see if is something wrong in your Pokeys settings regarding the Single Block just save your actual Pokeys settings ( XML file)
then use the default XML file from Polabs website and see if it works correctly. If so you can compare the settings.
Unfortunetly I can't load the  kbd48cnc XML file without a  kbd48cnc connected to the Pokeys so can't help with the
jogging problem. Only thing I can do from here is if you assingn all buttons ( jog +- and axis select) to an Userled then it could
be done with a brain. But first explore if there is a setting for what you need in Pokeys setup for the Jog Buttons.
maybe you can attach a screenshot.

jogging is not related to kbd48cnc, i just have 6 arcade buttons on my panel i made that are connected to pokeys directly, and would like to use two for x jogging, two for y and two for z.

ah ok,

in this case try

Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 307 push to jog X++  --> inverted
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 308 push to jog X--    --> inverted
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 309 push to jog Y++  --> inverted
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 310 push to jog Y--    --> inverted
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 311 push to jog Z++  --> inverted
Pin***   --> Function= Input --> LED = none --> Button = 312 push to jog Z--    --> inverted
 
is working here

Alex

can it be that your buttons are not momentary switches ?

Alex

They are just plain arcade buttons with cherry brand micro switches, and they are momentary.

I think its how I had it set, however will check in the morning, thanks again!
