Hi All,
I have Mach3 running with a Pokeys57CNC board. It has 3 axis motor controlling 3 servo motors, PWM 10V analogue driving the spindle, and all the limit, home and E-Stop switches are all working fine. So far so good, the 57CNC has been a great board and rather straight forward to configure.
However, I recently added a small matrix keyboard 3x4 and this is giving me significant trouble to get up and running.
It works, but VERY badly. If I press a key, it registers after about 2-3 seconds. If I hold the button down, then it works maybe 3 times every 10 seconds and very unreliably. I've followed the setup description in the manual, there are no external components (so no external pull up resistors for example) just the buttons wired in a matrix for the keyboard. I also implemented the trivial 1x1 matrix and it shows the same behaviour.
To see the operation of a button, I used both Mach3 and directly with the Pokeys configuration tool. Both show the same behaviour, so I doubt it's directly a Mach3 related issue, apart from the configuration mentioned above.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
