Hi there,
I have a problem to get the motors of my CNC running with Mach3 and PoKeys57CNC.
Here are some informations:
* I am using PoKeys57CNC with four PoStep60-256.
* The PoStep60-256 are connected Motor1/Motor2/Motor3 to the PoSteps
* I have connected the PoKeys and the PoSteps with the PoExtBus. I can modify the PoStep-Settings via PoKeys57CNC
* My PC is running Windows10 32 Bit.
* When I connect a PoStep to the PC with an USB-Cable it is possible to get the connected motor running.
* I have installed the PoKeys Mach3 Plugin.
* I can configure PoKeys57CNC with the Pokeys Software OR the plugin without problems.
What I did:
fist I activated the motors in Ports&Pins

In motor tuning I entered some first data as a beginning of tuning:

According to the blog article I should now be able to see the Dir/Step pin configuration in "PoKeys mapping". But I don't!! I only get four "External PH IO" pins set:

Best regards,
