Hello all,

Hope I destroy not my KP3.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Yes. The extensions are added to collect the shield and get the colors to Centroid standard.
The molded barrel jack cord colors may change.
tip = detect
ring = probe input
barrel/shield = GND

use ohm meter/continuity tester to figure out which wire is connected to which contact on the barrel jack.

Good mroning,

many thanks for the reply!

I will check it and try it again.

I ther any electronic inside of the probe and with critical parts after connecting to wrong terminals?

Please see attached report.

Kind regards

KP3 is simple and robust, it should be fine.

Hello all,

everything is okay and it works nice.

One question, can you advice me the speed for the fast and slow feedrate for a KP3 for the feedrate?

Can I probe parts with the 4th axes?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

Any idea what's happened?
