Gary, the wiring is not correct, say, 2 contacts at port A are connected and 1 or 2 other ports contacts get diconnected, your controller will not see any disconnection. To correctly connect you have to connect wires going to controllers input to contacts from different ports.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532592797866270005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779464781483610070.post-12935659076616504902016-03-17T18:39:58.398-07:002016-03-17T18:39:58.398-07:00hello, I used your g-code, and improved.

So A has to be opened for anything to register.<br />You should only have two of the small wires, not three.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889023677803618604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779464781483610070.post-82683691903690097892013-04-06T05:48:04.738-07:002013-04-06T05:48:04.738-07:00Dave,

The machine (Zen Toolworks 7x7 http://zentoolworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=74) is a little flexible. With a little care everything comes out level but it does take a little care. I do use a spoilboard that I face but sometimes pressing on the table or doing other things the table can get a little out of wack.<br /><br />By the way, the Zen Toolworks has been great, especially for the price.<br />Gary<br /><br />tocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063097764095202767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779464781483610070.post-30051528843450464042013-04-04T16:30:12.830-07:002013-04-04T16:30:12.830-07:00Wondering how un-level your table is.

When I replace the spoilboard on my machine, I use a large (1.25" dia) mortising bit and run it in a spiral pattern over the entire table around .05" deep. This surfaces the table perfectly flat - referenced to the spindle. As long as your spindle is perpendicular to the table you should get a very flat surface. You can use that method to determine if your table surface is far out of level as the bit will miss an area that is lower than that.

When I do it again though I will take a little more time getting everything straight. I think some of the trouble I am having with the probe skipping is from not having the three rods exactly perpendicular to the probe. Also, I replaced the one spring at the top of the probe with three springs, one above each switch. There are still troubles but it is much better.<br /><br />I saw the post on Hack a Day. I like looking over the site every now and then. There are a lot of people doing lots of good things. I had posted a picture of the probe on their Flickr group. Still, I was a little surprised (happily so) to see my pictures of their web site.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how you probe goes.<br />Garytocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063097764095202767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779464781483610070.post-83602913444567472162012-04-11T13:08:45.404-07:002012-04-11T13:08:45.404-07:00Gary,
