Look at the bottom of the input pins page. You can't use pin #6.
Only pins 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 will work.

I tried setting z-- to 11, dig trig to 11, probe to 11. setting active low. Im still not getting it to work. This is the board im using,http://www.probotix.com/manuals/PBX-RF_manual.pdf. The probe is a closed circuit. When I turn off power to the board the diag. screen lights the digitize light and M3limit. When power is on, the screen looks like previous post, with the 6th light out and it lights when I trip the probe by hand. Any one got any more insight? Im really needing this to work. Sorry for being a bug about this.

WHICH Dig Wizard are you trying to run ??  ONE is broken and will not run in Mach3 anymore.

When I go to wizards, it is listed on the bottom. the top one is 4 axis. Do I need to find another software, or plug in for mach?
