    Hi Guys,
    I am back again in need of a bit more help on a zero out tool come edge finder.Thanks very much for the help already. Here is a pic of a male connector I wantto use it is 6 pin male, I have the female in my control box wired up.
    I was thinking of using a banana plug as suggested, I hope that would allow meto switch between tools physically and when using mach 3.


    I am stuck on what spec wire to use and is single core suitable?
    Also can some help me write a macro or point me in the right direction? I wouldnot now where to start. I am still trying to learn the G code! I have got mymill going well I am cautiously cutting squares in a piece of Perspex.
    I look forward to seeing what you guys can help me with as I know you give goodadvice.
    Many thanks
    Suesi

  2. Don't use single core, it'll fracture eventually. Depending on how many cores you need, any lightweight signal cable/hookup wire will suffice, 7/0.2 or 16/0.2 (strands/cross-section in mm^2), or bit of overkill, some spare CY.
