Title: Auto zero wiring with uc100 adapter
Post by: Chuckcoe on May 01, 2017, 07:55:08 AM: Is there any instructions in wiring probe with uc100 being used instead of p/p. Also it would help if I was for dummies . I have looked everywhere and either I am wording it incorrectly or I need more help than I think
Thanks Chuck

There are a couple of other ports on the back of the control box, one of which is the 4th axes plug. The other looks like a printer port cable.
I have Chinese machine since I am just starting this cnc life. I am 67 y.o and probably over my head. Fairly well computer ok, can read & write and follow instructions w/pictures ( just kidding on the picture part ), but will take it if I can get it.

Thanks for the assist
Chuck
