Re: Tool Height probe wiring troubleshooting
I found some older threads and I’m gonna work through that describe setting this up. Hopefully not much has changed since 2019 when they were posted.

Re: Tool Height probe wiring troubleshooting
There was a “The Ultimate Guide to Touch Probe and Tool Height Setter
Configuration on Acorn, CNC12 v4.12” I stumbled across on the forums. Its outdated, but lead me in the right direction. I basically wired my NC aftermarket touch probe to input 8 on the board. I then changed the parameter 44 to 8 for the input. Left 257 to 0 because I sont have a probe detect signal wire. Then I opened the io map and toggled it to become red with a line over it, which I believe basically inverts the signal coming in to NO, and when tripped, it closes. I could be wrong here, but auto measure pgm works after that so…
Process was easier than I thought. I also used the TT-4 instruction as a guide.
