Hello,
I am running 2.8. I am not very experienced with LinuxCNC but got it all running with the parports. Now I try to get it working with the pokeys57CNC but there are almost no examples so I don't know what files I have to change. It is more than only following the instructions on page 10 I guess. Do I have to change the .hal and .ini files also and if yes are there good examples?
The machine_is_on changes the state of the pokeys when assigned correctly and just 1 time I managed that but I lost it somewhere in the process.
Apology for the late response. I wasn't notified of a reply. I checked the box now.

Hello,
I am attempting to convert my 5axismaker machine (5axismaker.co.uk/5xm-overview) to run on LinuxCNC as it currently runs on Mach4 with a Pokeys57U control board. The vendors couldn't assist with how to convert the machine so I was wondering first if it is possible to convert the machine and second if these instructions are the correct procedures for converting the machine? Thanks!

the comp In "Page 10" can Just read/write Pins ( digital in) for movement you'd need to use the PEv2 as Pulse generator for stepoers. In 2.8 i got IT working so that o could move the axes, but the came to the homing topic which caused that i Had to move to 2.9.2 where had Strange issues (AS reported in one of my previous Posts Here).
Some weeks ago i started to Work in that topic again an currently found Out that in 2.9.3 some of the issues reported before we're Not reproducible. But still have Performance issues when i add the pokeys_homecomp in the ini for homing
My actual configuration can be found Here github.com/zarfld/LinuxCnc_PokeysLibComp i did a rough description maybe that helps a bit ( it's far from being a full and structured technical documentation) For now i think to keep IT running in Carport until i could fix the homing topic, i you want to give IT a try i could also Help on updating your HAL and ini based on your machine.

Hi, that Sounds Like a big Project to convert. For Pokeys57U i think you also use an PoExtBusOC16CNC as Steppgenerator? I wonder If IT makes sense to use your mach3 configurations AS Base for conversion to a linuxcnc HAL. I heard that the configurations are stored in some XML Files but i have No Idea about the structure of These File(s?).
