cnc3040z-s probe and limit switche pins

[JayPunchbuggy]

Hi there,

I have a recent 6040 model, that I think is very similar. I was lucky enough to have it work just fine out of the box. I guess I was lucky!

One thing that it could be: I've heard that some newer pcs only have 3.3volt outputs on the parallel port, which is not quit enough to properly drive the BOB. This might make it false step on the input. My PC is quite old, so it may not have been a problem.

If you would like, I can make measurements on my working machine to compare... A sanity check really.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jay

Hi Ray

Cheers for the offer of help m8 but im fairly happy at the minute :)
Made a few changes to the earthing and shielding plus a change to the rebound settings and all seems good for now (fingers crossed)
Done quit a bit of work on the machine recently cutting bits for an hot air engine (brass and ally) and although there are a few issues with accuracy its not doing to bad.
