I have a 3020T hobby CNC and looking to use autoleveler.

So I'm trying to set up the probe touch off on the controller. I have opened the controller and looked at the pcb, it's using the JP-382A PCB. Has anyone added the input for the Probe to this controller.

Has anyone get any pictures or steps I can copy?

My 3040 control box has a barrel connector installed and connected. It is indicated in the pic I'm attaching.

Wiring it is simple, I used a micro-switch for testing purposes.

In my .hal file I added this to connect the probe input and invert it;

net probe-in <= parport.0.pin-15-in-not

Then added this to allow the G-code to recognize the probe "trigger";

net probe-in => motion.probe-input

Hope this helps.

Thanks CMH.

I also have the DC connector aswell, didn't know what this was, so your telling me this is in pin15 for a Probe input?

Glad to hear it. My response to your previous post didn't show up but sounds like you've got it figured.
