Digitizing and Probing Question

[Scorpion3]

What is needed to use the digitizing feature in the software, I noticed alot of probes on Ebay. Rensaw stuff at great prices. Do I need a box or controller?

Will this work, I am on a student budget

Yes, that probe appears that it will work, though the LED may not. We require a simple contact closure.

For wiring info, please see the end of the manual here: http://centroidcnc.com/downloads/dp4_probe_manual.pdf

You can write your own probing macros but, in order to use the internal probing and/or digitizing software, you must purchase those software options.
