    Where oh where can I grab Z plate input???

    Trying to get pin 15 for Zplate input on this 6560. Tried turing the board over and I can not even get a signal at the pad 15 of the DB25.

    One suggestion was that I add a pull up resistor from +5 volts to pin 15 on the DB25. How the heck do I do that?

    Has anyone added a Zplate successfully to this board?

    Please HELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

    Yes I did and the only way was to solder a direct link at the r25 pad.

    Thanks for the response, but actually (perhaps on purpose) I fried this board today. I decided to get a g540 as a replacement. I needed something to control my VFD anyway.

    fry board

    just check the diodes ($0.60 ea) and then replace the TB6560 ($4.00 ea) under that heat sink then make sure that your motors dont draw more than 3A otherwise you will need current limiting (u can do that in the setting or u can build one...look on line for schematics) about pin 15 I directly solder 24 AWG stranded wire to it on the bottom of the board and then insolated and secured that with couple dabs of electronics silicone...open the probe in pin setting and designated pin 15 as active in Mach3 assign the VB code to the auto zero button in Mach3 and it is working like a charm...when I have time I will post the pics
