Can anyone help me understand the Chinglish in the manual?
In terms of the inputs on the ZP5A-INT board one terminal (of a pair) is labelled as GND and the other is labelled with the pin number. It seemed fine until I wanted to zero the tool - I had to swap the X, Y and Z plate leads from (whats labelled in the manual as) the pin terminal to the GND terminal for each of the inputs - which didn't make sense. The 'pin' terminal appears to be at +5v relative to the GND terminal but I'm not sure if the board is holding it as such. I think that my lack of understanding on what each of the terminals represents has meant that getting this far (with the zeroing and estop) has been more down to trial and error/luck and the auto-switch-set feature in Mach3!
I would find it easier if I there was a +5V, a GND and a lead to the parallel pin because I'd be able to install my own resistors and switches to allow me to make it active low/active high. As it stands (and as the boards screwed down to the base) I'm struggling to understand what's going off.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could shed some light on this as I (hope and!) think this is my last hurdle before I can have a trial run.

Matthew
