#CNC TOUCH PLATE WIRING INSTALL#

Your Enclosure should now look similar to the image as shown below. Now replace the top cover as described earlier in this document, using 2 of the M3 screws, start them in the mounting holes on the right side of the Enclosure, be sure the wires are routed out of the exit hole.

Your controller should now look similar to the image shown below.īelow is an image with the bend in the Heat Shrink showing how your installation should look when your probes properly installed. Go ahead and place the probe connection on this 3 pin connector on you controller.

The location to install the probe is shown in the image below. There is a 3 pin connector on the current controller for the probe on, its on the opposite side from the USB and pores connections just below the row where the limit switches are plugged in and is oriented vertically. *Standard Shapeoko users be aware your controller will be 180 degrees (upside down) from the image below and will not have a Drag Chain. With the Top Cover removed your Controller will be similar to the image shown below. Remove the Top Cover as describe earlier in the document and put it in a safe place. This is shown in the image below and we will reference it again after the BitZero is installed. Note the Flange Screw will be used for the Ground to the alligator clip. To install the BitZero remove all the M3 screws holding the top cover on and set them aside in a safe place. If your 2.4d/e board is missing the RESERVED header, connect the BitZero using the adapter cable and follow the directions for connecting version 2.3 #Connect the BitZero to the RESERVED header as in the below pictures. You can now connect the probe to the 3-pin male header on the adapter cable.īeginning with version 2.4d, the boards have with a purpose-built connector that we can use for the probe, labeled “RESERVED”. Once both wires are plugged in, your board should look like this.

Connect the red wire (+5V) to the upper left pin on the AVR programming header as in the picture below.

Connect the female connector (green and white wires) to the probe pins as in the below picture.

Note that it will be necessary to attach the end of the alligator clip wire to a suitable ground connector such as a corner of the control board using the bolt at that corner. When I was using my Porter Cable or Milwakee router, I found the tool bit "found" a path to ground and only need a single conductor to the plate to work correctly.NOTE: It will be necessary to remove the cover/shroud from your controller to identify your model number.Īfter assembly is complete, see the userguide for instructions on using the probe: Carbide 3D Probe Userguide If you have a spindle with ceramic bearings, or water cooled, the alligator clip is mandatory as the spindle/collet is electrically isolated from the system. ONE (1) conductor is soldered to a large alligator clip to attach to tool bit for conductivity of the touch. ON the table (metal block side) I split the cable so ONE (1) CONDUCTOR is terminated in the TRS 1/4" connector. ON the machine side only 1 male TRS 1/4" plug is inserted in the panel mount plug. 1) I drilled a hole in the end (the OD of a 1/4" TRS female metal shelled guitar jack)Ģ) Soldered a jumper from the Tip to the shell so electrically conducts to the plate.ģ) press the female shell into the block.Ĥ) drilled and installed another (1/4" panel mount TRS female connector) in the push button box on the gantry.ĥ) wired the two conductors of the tip to the J connection on the PMDX BOB via one of my bundle of wires to the gantry.Ħ) purchased a nice coiled cable from music store and male plug ends.
