have a look in the scripting manual , what daz posted above can be change to input what ever, call what ever one after the other in a table. just play and post back when you need help.

I think the manual is a bit out you will have to check with Daz on this one

Oh, I did not realize that.  Guess I need to do more research on scripts...or maybe Machmotion needs to if they want to make a sale as this seems to be fairly common thing.

Machmotion are using M4 (look up there youtube channel) they will be waiting for it to get more stable, if you ask for a M3 controller they will help then

Found another possible solution to this.  This has been done using Mach3, but since it is a keyboard emulator, I am wondering why it wouldn't work with Mach4.

you can do the same thing with a pokeys what is good to go with M3 and M4 have a look at the 57cnc or the 57 E or U

hows does the 56u work with mach4, I have tried to get it to work but have had no luck.

dont know I only have a 57cnc what is so hard to get going that all you have to do is plug it in, it is just as easy in M3 plug it in and that's about all.

you can use the pokeys boards as IO only

you would have to ask the pokeys boy about the 56u

    If its as simple as adding a Pokeys , I can do that ! Is it as responsive as the scripting ? I would like the easiest solution for my application , because I plan to use Mach 4 to revive several old , large
pieces of machinery ( I mean Real Large ) . That are in great shape , and very viable , but have dead controls .

Keep the replies coming.  Looking at Pokeys on the web, it looks like they are pretty much plug and play for keyboard emulation.  I did notice that the the 56U is no longer available and has been replaced with the 57U.

I just downloaded my demo of Mach4 today, so I have a LOT of learning to do, but would really like to get this figured out without scripting and other programming if possible.

Thanks,
Dave
