Probe for Shopbot

Post by mkcfl »

I have an old touch probe PO108 TP-100 for a Shopbot. Can this be used with the Centroid controller or is this just too old and obsolete?

If I remember correctly from a previous thread, that probe is 5v and wasn't able to sink the current required to work properly with Acorn's inputs.
