Acorn 5.3 uprgade from 4.8 help with Tool Touch Off!

[xmlsurfsx]

Thanks ShawnM

I don't have screenshots of 5.3 because I had to reinstall 4.8 to keep my machine in production.
Over the weekend I will reinstall 5.3 again to troubleshoot and take screenshots.
I do appreciate the help and support!

So I installed the 5.3 Router version with the same result as with the Mill version, except now my license isn't valid? Do I need to go back and install the Mill version to utilize my license?

My tool touch off is NC, a cheapo from Amazon about 2.45 inches tall at the point of opening

Attached screenshots of where I am stuck:

Your Mill license is only valid with the CNC12 Mill software, it won't work with Router.

Regarding your 3rd image, You'll want to also have a "ToolTouchOffDetect" input.
I know you don't have a TT-4, but here's a schematic showing hooking it up with an Acorn:

This could help give an idea of which wires to hook where with the TT you have.
