Got my probe working, kinda, now have shifted my efforts to home limit switches.
I got a simple 5 switch kit from CNC4PC. The switches are all wired in series and the wiring is a RJ45 plug. Following the wiring diagram provided, I have Z home, ++ & -- plugged into pin 11 on my BOB, the Y's into pin 12, the X's into pin 13. I really don't know why I need to plug into pins 11 or 12, because everything registers pin 13 when I use the auto set to configure.
My question is, since the switches in series equal one switch with 5 gates, why can't I plug the wires from all 3 axes into pin 13 and leave the other two for something else, like a touch plate and an iPod?
J/K about the iPod.
Thanks
Dan
