I've ordered the probe but just thinking of how to do it right before it arrives. I like the idea of including the led to the probe.

Adding a led would be easy...

Ordered a pre-wired led with the resister already attached.

Do you have a soldering iron? in case you need to change the resistor value

Okay....great. When do you expect your probe to arrive?

Hopefully within the week but sometimes it comes from China and takes longer than expected.

Guys, don't want to seem to be a spoil sport here, but you're burying the original topic of the VFD with chit-chat and other topics that are better off being asked in the other forums that are set up to handle those kinds of questions. It makes it hard for folks who have spindle/VFD issues to have to wade through the chit-chat fluff (which is better handled through private messaging) and posts like touch off probes which are better handled in the electronics forums or the software forums like the Mach Software forum.

Please try to stick to the original topic.

I agree we did go a bit off topic but the information contained in this topic is specific to the using the same vfd and Bob and getting mach3 to work with these specific components. At least if anyone else chooses to use these components they will have the information in one place/topic. I understand that it's best practice to use different topics but I've yet to find a topic that doesn't veer off occasionally.
As most of the posts were between ericks and I there didn't seem to be an issue.

Great help is sometimes hard to find and this forum is very helpful. I understand your point of view.

Thanks Jase

Maybe best then you start a new Thread for this Five axis breakout board in the general cnc electronics forum?
