Hi All
I am in the process of converting my Emcoturn lathe to Mach3 and I am incorporating a Pokeys (Ethernet version)
to help with the control panel.
The lathe has 8 stations and I have modified my tool change macro so that when I enter T101 ...to....T808 into
the MDI line it works fine . However it is very cumbersome and slow with a lot of typing involved. (well, it feels like it at the time !!)
I have spare buttons on my control panel and would like link one button to each tool change position.
(ie button 1 pressed runs macro with line Code (" T101 ") etc etc
I did link up one button to run a macro to index the turret one position for each press of the button
(which works well but is very slow in operation as it fully locks the tool home each time)
using SetTriggerMacro in association with OEM code 301
but that " appears " to only allow control of one macro. I want 8 one for each button.
I used to have the Pokeys 56 Usb version a few years ago and I have it in the back of my mind that
I was able to directly link every button straight away to a macro.
I suspect I am missing something very obvious and everyone is laughing at my stupidity but I just
can't for the life of me see what to do.
Can anyone out there help and put me out of my misery
cheers George
