Thanks very much - I fee confident enough to try this now. Will give it a go as soon as the weather warms up a little (computer is in the garage, next to the Mill).

Thank you for the information.

I was able to setup and use in 2.8.pre you do have to install the -dev version as well so you can compile the halfile.
It also works with the matrix keyboard inside of pokeys as well as the pins. Very handy for your interface.

Hi!

If you'll have some questions or problems with PoKeys, please open a ticket in the support section on the www.poscope.com.
You'll get an answer from the hardware developers.

Hi, my name is Juan and I have some troubles follow the Fixer steps.

I'm new using HAL and some configurations on LINUX, I can't compile linuxcnc pokeys component with: sudo halcompile ./pokeys.comp the terminal send me an error "halcompile: command not found."

I run the sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev to install the HAL components but that don't solve the problem.

And I have a doubt in this part:

"These will also install the library in /usr/lib folder and copy the header file to /usr/include. Sudo is required to gain write access to these two folders"

I have to copy the library installed in /usr/lib and paste it in /usr/include? And the file is libPokeys.so?

Sorry but really I don't undestand.

Thank you so much for your time and patience.

Maybe you are using an old LinuxCNC version. Try sudo comp --install ... " We changed the name of the compiler as there was an unfortunate name-clash with a different package.

I suspect that you don't have the pokeys.h library from the very first link in the very first post.

In the files downloaded from pokeyslib I have this file PoKeysLib.h, do I have to move it to a specific address?

Thank you

Yes, and you might have to compile the library too.
Are there instructions on the site where the file came from?

Yes, I first installed:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

Then in the folder downloaded I ran the "sudo make -f Makefile.noqmake install"
and the terminal show me
cp libPokeys.so/usr/lib
cp PokeysLib.h /usr/include

then I tray to compile pokeys.comp

I created the file pokeys.comp with the code posted by FIXER in the first post:

component pokeys "PoKeys IO driver, by Mit Zot";

option userspace yes;


pin out bit in-# [55];
pin out unsigned ain-# [3];
pin out bit err;
pin in unsigned devSerial;
pin out bit alive;

license "GPL";
;;

#include "PoKeysLib.h"
#include <unistd.h>   /* UNIX standard function definitions */

sPoKeysDevice * dev=0;
int i=0;

void user_mainloop(void) 
{ 
   
    while(0xb){
       FOR_ALL_INSTS() {

	 while(dev == NULL)dev = PK_ConnectToDeviceWSerial(devSerial, 2000);  //waits for usb device
	
	
	 alive=1; 
	 if ((PK_DigitalIOGet(dev) == PK_OK) && (PK_AnalogIOGet(dev) == PK_OK)){  //gets IO data and checks return value 
		err=0;
		for(i=0;i<54;i++)in(i)=!dev->Pins[i].DigitalValueGet;           //just transfers values
		for(i=0;i<3;i++)ain(i)=dev->Pins[i+44].AnalogValue;
	 }
         else{             		  //on connection error
		PK_DisconnectDevice(dev);
		dev=NULL;  		  //tries to reconnect
		err=1;
		for(i=0;i<54;i++)in(i)=0;
		for(i=0;i<3;i++)ain(i)=0;
	 }
	 alive=0;
	usleep(40000); 
        }
    }

    exit(0);
}

In the same folder where I have the downloaded files, is this correct?

Thank you.
