Re: Auto Z Plate from CNC Router Parts Problem

I found the problem, the unit needed 10v and only showed 4v I switched to pin 10 and everything works great once I got the programming right. Now when I hit the auto zero stop after I load the G-code it works like a champ. Thanks everybody

Re: Wooden Carved Headstone
