I am new to CNC routering amd purchased 2 machines. On is a 6090 (24” x 36”) and the other is a 1325 (48 x 96”) with auto tool changer. The 1325 isn’t unpacked as yet using the 6090 to get up to speed. Have had issues with it running on a new laptop with windows 10 and machine is USB and not serial port.
Changing the config files and all that has been difficult for someone that knows nothing. The problem I am having is the tool touch sensor won’t work. Before I tried setting up the touch sensor the digitize light would go on. When I checked just before configuring it for the probe it wasn’t turning the digitize light on any more. I have done about 10 hours of carving. I checked the one wire and it has 22.8 volts in it. I have set the ports and that as per the manufacturers specifications.
Do you think it is a controller issue or software, I am running Mach3.The Controller is a WXhc-MKX-1V-!! for Mach3

Chinese controllers don't usually support real-time instructions, I changed my Chinese motherboard because it didn't support the g31 command, necessary for the autoleveling tool

Use following to compare and correct YOUR "Probe z surface macro" script:-
'Probe z surface macro
FeedCurrent = GetOemDRO(818) 'Get the current settings, OEM DROs (818)=Feedrate DRO
ZCurrent = GetOemDro(802) 'OEM DROs (802)=Z DRO
GageH = GetOEMDRO(1001) 'OEMDRO(1001)=Gage Block Height
ZNew = ZCurrent - 6 'probe down max. 6 inches
Code "G90F5" 'slow feed rate to 5inches/MIN
SetOemDRO(818,5)
Code "G4 P1" 'Pause 1 second to give time to position probe plate
Code "G31 Z" &ZNew
While IsMoving()
Sleep(10)
Wend
Call SetDro (2,GageH) 'DRO(2)=Z DRO
FinalMove = GageH + 1 ‘move 1 inch above gage height
Code "G0 Z" &FinalMove
Code "F" &FeedCurrent 'restore starting feed rate
SetOemDRO(818,FeedCurrent)
