At the moment the PoKeys plugin by Art is only for digital Inputs and Outputs. Art has said if enough interest is shown the Analogue Inputs and Outputs may be added to the pplugin. Also there is mention of Boris (Mr PoKeys :) ) adding encoder type inputs which hopefully will also be added to the plugin.
There is a page on the PoKeys website that shows how to connect various devices to the digital I/O, here is a link http://po.labs.googlepages.com/Peripheral.jpg
This device will be excellent for using to connect button panels, activating various things like coolant relays etc
Time critical use such as connecting an axis is not possible but hopefully if the encoder Inputs are a success then MPG connection may be possible. I have tested the Pokeys with external buttons and it works very well, I have also connected LEDs to outputs as a means of confirming they work and they too have worked flawlessly.
Art, if you are reading just to let you know again I am definitely wanting the Analogue and if possible the Encoder added to the plugin :)

Yes incremental encoders inputs will be added (It is under work now). When they will be published, all existing users could download software and upgrade PoKeys for free.

Hello Boris,
This is great to hear and I look forward to receiving the PoKeys unit. :)

Good to hear Boris, lets hope the timing is sufficient for Mach, if it is then the PoKeys will be ideal for fitting in a pendant.
