Pin 10 is what i found the other post. I assume I can use any in put pin? Or is there a preferred pint to use?  I'll scrounge up a USB to take power from.
Thanks

well i answered my own question after contining to search. The resistor goes between the plate and pin # 10. I have configured that as an input. Now where do i pull the +5 volts from?

I referenced this post for picking pin #10. http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12742.0.html

The 10K resistor goes from where to where? I have done some searching with no luck

Thank you

I went to the local radio shack and found not exactly what i was looking for but close enough. Its ugly but it work. I think i'll unsolder one side and go back and put on heat shrink. I'll also put it in a project box. Then but the well made jumper box as aposed to my home made junk box  ;D.

I work for Ford Motor Company and deal with warranties daily. It's best not to void them when when you can!!! I'll update on progress as i go.
Thanks

I think i have found a solution. I did contact Sherline. They said as long as my mod didn't cause the problem i was fine. I did find photos of the the box insides. It did not look like an easy hook up. Rather tight for open spots to solder to. After a long exhaustive internet search i found this. Mainly so long because i didn't know what it was called. Its a printer jumper box. I'm going to buy male female ended. Wiring for normal use and splice in here for tool setter ect. Hope my soldering skills are up to the challenge. Sells for about 10 bucks through amazon. Hope this helps those worried about their warranties.

So things went pretty well. I still have plenty to learn. This was a good start though. The part was orientated in mach facing the other direction so I need to flip the axis. Also locating the block better would help. Eye balling isn't so accurate.

I am planing on using the simple PCB board style setter. How do you physically wire the input? I have a Sherline controler which has tamper seals. Do i have to wire through box or can it be wired anothe way?

If you know of another post that i should i would appriciate it.

Thanks you.
