Hi.

I have tried to hook up my pokeys board to do some testing with Mach3.

When I program as an example pin 1 for x axis (left arrow or right arrow) and do a send to device, if I click on the menu at the top of mach3 screen, each menu start to open from left to right on a non stop way.

On the window screen, if I double click on a icon, instead of opening the software, it act as I right click and got the property window.

I tried with a NO switch and a NC switch and it does the same thing.

If I try without opening Mach3, it affect the computer and have to press reset or disconnect the pokey board to get control of my computer.

Hi, I have downloaded the latest version.

The pokeys board act like if I hold the arrow key so I can do nothing.

I tried to use it to alternate between Mach3 screen.

Pin 1 = Alt +1     Pin 2 = Alt +2     Pin 3 = Alt + 3

When I hit button, the screen flash at high rate

Instead of doing something when I hit button, it does it all the time like if I hold the button. Tried NO pushbutton and NC pushbutton

Can you explain to me what mean Program  "Mach3 with port 10 pin 1-55"

borisz:
There are some pins which need external puul ups when used as an input. Please check user manual.
Try to configure other inputs pins.

regards

I have done some testing and every time I connect the Pokeys board and program a pin, I loose control of my computer.

It is like the board send a non stop signal(the one programmed) maybe 10 times per second.

I don't know what to do with this board, maybe just get rid of it and try another model.
