KP-3 - DP-4?

Post by IPGregory »

Looking at the KP-3 probe, but all the documentation refers to a DP-4. Are they the same thing?
Thx
Ian

Thx Uwe, I found that, but when I am looking at the probe setup, everything is DP-4?

the dp4 is older designed centroid probe that is more expensive than the kp-3. for all practical purposes the KP-3 has replaced the DP-4

follow the guidance in the comprehensive KP-3 manual for wiring and software configuration.
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... _probe.pdf

the general purpose "probe setup manual" was written before the KP-3 existed.

Thx Keith, that's the doc I couldn't find the KP-3 in, so that makes sense.
Thx
