So, finally got the motherboard, back in the machine and everything, drilled, wired, soldered, etc… and… It don’t work \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Come to find out that the cool and groovy old green binding post I used has no conductivity from top to bottom.\u00a0 That’s right folks if you have not learned the lesson all ready, you probably will again, never assume.<\/p>\n

Lucky for me it was easy to figure out and I was able to remove the binding post without taking the motherboard back out.\u00a0 I replaced it with a small bolt and lock nut. Added another ring connector for the wire on the top side of the board.\u00a0\u00a0 WahLah, it works!<\/p>\n

I added a banana jack to the back of the machine so I can plug different types of probes in, I would really like to do some Scanning<\/a> .<\/p>\n

I spent some time last night trying to get the hang of Zeroing out the Z-axis with the probe.\u00a0 Still having a bit of trouble with the concepts and the gcode.\u00a0 The nice folks on #EMC irc freenode are helping me out.<\/p>\n

The idea is you use G38.2 (May be for EMC only) like:<\/p>\n

G38.2 Z-1 F1 (Tries to move Z axis below work surface stops at probe top)<\/p>\n

G92 Z.060\u00a0 (Moves Origin to new location, this is the tricky part, .060 just compensates for probe height)<\/p>\n

Will post back more when I actually get a good system going.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Thanks to SWPadnos Coordinate Systems<\/a> in the wiki really helps.<\/p>\n
