    Syil Controller - probe input?

    Does the Syil controller have a probe input capability to work with touch probes like this one?

    Yes you have five inputs. 10 to 13 and 15

    Use any of these if not already in use. I use 11

    There is one free input, it is the connector next to the estop. This input is also connected to the A reference so you can use that connector also. The pin for that input is 11, as Greg mentioned.

    Based on the description of that probe you should have no problem hooking it up. Connect one lead to the signal input (pin 2) and the other to ground (pin 3).

    I stumbled across this touch probe made and sold by a fellow over on the Mach forums http://www.machsupport.com/forum/ind...ic,5004.0.html

    I've bought this one and one of his camera setups
