how do go about getting a mpg to work with auggie ?
have wired it up like this

pokeys setting, I know this screen shot is a demo the real pokeys is set as per this

Hi Richard:

  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this, Ive been away.

  I know MPGS are tested, YaNvrNo used them for me as a test. I will reseach to see how its done,
but as I recall you simply hook them up as per Pokeys and select the MPG state in Auggie. The state will
change to something like 10 and will jog by MPG ( and do nothing else) till MPG mode is turned off.

  Do you get any responce in MPG mode in Auggie? Does the state change ( DRO in upper right that displays a 3 when you reset Auggie).

Thx
Art

I get no response from auggie to the mpg , the mpg counts as expected using the pokeys encoder raw values test

Richard:

Does the state change to a number 10 when you select MPG mode and is the jogging enable button lit?

Art

yes
I get a message set mpg mode %d and state goes from 3 to 10

Richard:

Thx, Ill check it out. I may have to add a couple of mpg's to see whats up. I do have a few on the shelf.
Ill get back to you, they should work.

Jim:

  In the pokeys pulse engine engine config there is a setting for which encoder is for what axis, and a enable/disable.
Is that turned on?

Art

no , I missed that bit .  I was hoping to use one mpg with a switch to change axis

ok that's one axis.
is it possible to move multiple axis' with one mpg ?
