Question for Mach3 and two MPGs
« on: April 14, 2016, 12:35:53 PM »
Hi,
I use a Pokeys 56U as external controller for Mach3 on my lathe. I have install two MPGs and in the Pokeys I/O status I can see both working. In the Mach3 diagnostics I see only one working and on the manual mode screen works no one. The working mpg is connected to pin 1 + 2, DRO101, the other is on pin 5 + 6, DRO102.
Does someone has an idea what is my mistake?

Many thanks

Hans

Hello Hans, i can give you my Mach3 configuration for study.
I got both Encoders working in Mach3, but with some other annoying side effects of mach3.
See my last posts.
Now i use Mach4 where some things are better then in Mach3, but still a lott to do to get all running.
Here i have an issue when i start turning both Encoders at same time. But NeoTo will fix it.
Also my Spindel Index is stil not working in Mach4.
