Hi,
I purchased the 0.01 UF Capacitor and placed it in the circuit.
Not being an electronics guy I probably hooked it up incorrectly.Here is what I did. Prior to putting the Capacitor in the circuit I did a test by touching the auto zero plate to the end mill in the collet which had the ground wire attached. The TOUCH light lit up in the Dialog Box and also the Digitize light lit up in the diagnostics screen.
Also, checked the ports and pins settings. The probe is set up on port 1 and Pin 13. Active Low
I have a CNC4PC C10 Breakout Board with the inputs in the Pull Up configuration.
I have two wires. One is hooked to Input 13 and the other is hooked to GROUND (not the 5 volt terminal) per instructions in the CNC4PC C10 Break out Board Manual.
I took the ground wire off the terminal on the break out board and attached one of the wires on the capacitor to that and attached the other wire on the capacitor to the ground terminal.
I also tried putting the capacitor on the Input 13 wire and had the same results. In either of these configurations, when I touch the auto zero plate to the end mill the TOUCH light does not light. Also, the macro still does not work.
Maybe, I should have put one of the leads on the Capacitor to the Ground and the other to Input 13?
I have also attached the script that is currently attached to the Auto Tool Zero Button.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Any Ideas?
