Last days i am little bit experimenting with the Pokeys Pulse Engine, CNC Addon Board two stepper and two encoders.
My future plan is to convert my chines lathe to CNC. But the machine should also be used in a conventional way.
The idea is to use the two Encoder wheels instead of the current wheels to drive the machine.
With the pulse engine and the Jogging mode, this could work without any lags.
But to activate the Jogging mode and changing the Encoder multiplier i need to start the Pokeys Software.
Is there a way to control this internal Pulse engine parameters with the Pokeys board directly.
Maybe routing the parameters to any output or input pins of the board. ?
Then i could activate or change this parameters with switches.
One other question, what can i do with the Jog speed slider on the bottom of the Pulse engine dialog. ?
I tried to adjust, but not really happens when i turned the encoders.
