I don’t use Mach3 anymore but i would think this would work.
Get the B axis DRO number and change it using a Mcode.

Re: pokeys almost working
In the Mach software, both 3 and 4, the numbers reported in the DRO actually
come back from the plugin for the motion device. No pulse engine, no motion,
no change in the DRO.

Re: pokeys almost working
i don't want to use the B axis to control anything just to show on the dro. why would pokeys be preventing this? somewhere i might still have a UC100 but i remember having serious problems with it and

Re: pokeys almost working
The PoKeys CNCDB25 under Mach3 or Mach4 (and the PMDX-411 under Mach4) only
support 4 pulse engines/axes.
As best I can tell, the UCC100 does
support 6

Re: pokeys almost working
the B axis is enabled. i have tried every possible choice for ports and pins although i am sure this does nothing if the machine is using the pokeys.
i just did another sanity check. when i went to

Re: pokeys almost working
G-code moves shouldn’t depend on what motion controller you are using.
Telling Mach to move the B axis by “1” should move it whether you have a parallel port, pokeys, Smoothstepper, etc.

Re: pokeys almost working
that is exactly what i have in my gcode and it worked perfectly with the parrallel port and mach3. i don't think it even mattered what pins or ports i had assigned to the B axis. the "moves" changed

Re: pokeys almost working
i put ferrites on either end of the cable that connects the spindle inverter to the relay on the PDMX and have not had a crash since.
still want a solution to the b axis issue

pokeys almost working
I have found a few reasons why the Pokeys was not working for me with Mach 3 and a new win 10 computer.
First, maybe, the computer came with a cheap bluetooth dongle for a mouse etc. I believe it was

Re: Logosol motion controller
It looks like you could take the 2-9 pins of the Smooth stepper for inputs step and direction directly into the servo amps CN8 pins 7 and 13. No sure how the 2310 would interface with mach3 and the

Re: Pokeys problems fixed mosstly
i thought that changing active low was the way to do it but with the Pokeys this has no effect. i have not tried the reverse axis direction in homing/limits. sounds like that should work.

Re: Connecting an MPG
You need to connect the wires from the mpg encoder A+ A- B+ and B- to input pins on the port(s) and then fill in the table with which pin each cable is connected to. There are not usually many input

Re: Pokeys problems fixed mosstly
No, there's a "Home Negative" which determines homing direction, and a "Reverse" which changes axis direction. Both are in Config > Homing/Limits.
You can also toggle Active Low in ports and pins to

Re: Pokeys problems fixed mosstly
There is a reverse option in the ports and pins dialog for general direction instructions. The one in the Homing/Limits dialog is just to determine which direction to go to home to suit your

Re: Logosol motion controller
Hello, there is nothing complex I think. The machine uses home, limit switches, tool length switch, tool clamp, maybe analog spindle speed control. Nothing that MACH cannot control already.

Re: Pokeys problems fixed mosstly
In order to reverse the direction of the axis, Mach3 hides it in
Homing/Limits dialog. There is no separate option in the plugin for that.
