Lathe - Quadature configuration and setup
« on: September 23, 2019, 05:27:28 AM »
I have Mach4 & Pokeys up and running on a CNC4PC M16D board but I need an example of the proper PK Pin configuration. I get a true RPM reading when selecting the INDEX(lathe) but I get 1/2 the reading when selecting the Encoder(lathe). It seems that the ENC A & B pulses are not being processed. I have been using PK Pins 8, 12 and 13 but I don't think that I have them set up right.

The True RPM is now reading correctly. In tracing the encoder inputs by unplugging the PoKeys and the C78 boards from the motherboard and reinserting them the displays are now functioning properly. I contribute it to a bad connection on one of the boards.
