I have a CNC machine that has a Machmotion control panel in it. This control panel basically has a pokeys 55 or 56 in it that connects to the computer via USB. The control panel has a pendant connected to it and also some basic controls on the panel. Machmotion provided a plugin for Mach3 to make this work. I would not be able to get any plugin from them for Mach4 without buying a new system apparently.
What I am trying to figure out is if I will be able to make Mach4 work with this setup since it uses a bit older pokeys 55 or 56? I have to take it apart to see which one it has I think, or maybe the pokeys software I have loaded on there years ago will tell me which model it is. I will have to check this.
My other option would be if I could just swap out the pokeys 55/56 with the newest model and use the plugin pokeys supplies for Mach4?
I attached a manual. I am using their control panel and pendant and their I06 breakout board, but not their computer or anything else.
