Need Help with MPGs?
« on: September 02, 2026, 04:03:30 PM »
Hello,
I want to install a new control system on my lathe. I am using Windows XP, Mach3, and a PoKeys57E. I wanted to connect the handwheels now. I connected the first one to I/O pins 1 and 2; it is recognized in Mach3 Diagnostics and counts up and down correctly.
I connected the second MPG in the same way, but it isn't being recognized by Mach3. I used an oscilloscope to verify that the MPG is working. I also tried connecting it to different pins,
but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Hans

In the setup from the PoKeys57E both MPGs are working, both count up and down. In the diagnostics from Mach3 works
only MPG 101.
