I bought an econo touch probe (http://www.wildhorse-innovations.com...d&productId=80) a few years back and never hooked it up. Just found it and would like to use it with my Tormach and having some problems hooking it up.
The Econo probe is a NC circuit (circuit complete until probe tip hits breaking circuit) and pin 5 of the input on the Tormach panel is a negative trigger (trips when negative signal is given). So in a sense, it needs to be reverse (either Econo Probe or the Tormach/Mach 3 trigger).
I understand I can ask Tormach for the Mach 3 files and change the input to active... but without modding the Tormach/mach3 settings... is there a way to hook this up so it will work? Anyone else got this probe? What did you guys do?
I'm thinking about finding a NC Photovoltaic Relay to hook it up inside the econo Probe so it will reverse the signal. Not sure if this is a good idea. Reason for this is to keep the Tormach as original as possible and also to make the LED on the Econo Probe work.
