    Thanks for the quick response, I had gone out and bought a package of Transistors and Diodes to make sure I had at least a set of each. Ans though there was a reference for the Transistors there...
  5. Re: Proximity Sensor Wiring Issue? Help needed.

    I checked my circuit with a 24VDC power supply and by measuring the Voltage between the Blue and Brown wires I have a voltage of 27VDC. I realize that I need to run a Diode between the Black Sensor...
  6. Re: Proximity Sensor Wiring Issue? Help needed.

    So basically I had it hooked up correctly the first time I tried but instead of a 24V Wall Wart I had used a 9V Wall Wart. When I did that though the Probe would light up until I turned the...
  7. Re: Proximity Sensor Wiring Issue? Help needed.

    I've probably gone through more than a few reams of papers on this subject and seen dozens of hours of videos and I'm still left with the Basic Question of. What would be the Correct Resistor to use...
  8. Re: Proximity Sensors Gecko G540 and Mach3

    I've thought of that when I originally wired my system. I'll have to try bypassing the E-Stop. I used a video presentation by Corvettegut50 on YouTube who is considered by many to be a G540 Guru to...
  9. Re: Proximity Sensors Gecko G540 and Mach3

    My sensors have the same wiring and when I hooked mine up in this exact configuration. They would work perfectly as long as I had my E-Stop Switch depressed. But as soon as I enabled my Stepper...

  13. Re: Proximity Sensors Gecko G540 and Mach3

    I checked the G540 by running a Jumper Wire from Pin 12 to both Pins 10 and 11 a it still worked as usual, therefore it isn't the G540. I have yet to try hooking up a Buck Dockdown from my 36V...
  14. Re: Proximity Sensors Gecko G540 and Mach3

    So what I got out of this is to disconnect my current connections of the sensors. Then to run a jumper wire over to the appropriate terminals of the G540 to see if the G540 still works as it is...
  15. Re: Proximity Sensors Gecko G540 and Mach3

    I'm not sure what you mean by using wire links between the 12 Pin and the g540 Inputs other than stating I have a definite Fear in emitting the Blue Smoke Genie. I will though try a different power...
