Touch plate with Arduino/GRBL and Estlcam

[mtolesen]

Hi,

I want my touch plate to work with my Proxon MF70 CNC machine, which is connected to rhe GRBL arduino shield an operated frem Estlcam.
it works well, but i cannot get the touch plate function to work from Estlcam.
i connect the two touch plare wires to GND abd SEL pins on the GRBL board, but it is like Estlcam does not "see" this input.
Anyone knows how i can set this up in Estlcam, i have bere in the section where i can configure inputs, also for "prope" which is what Estlcam calle the touch plate function, but i do not understand how to adress the specific SEL pin on the GRBL board, from this setup section.
can anybody help?

I do not know of it will work, but i found this message on the internet!

Units has to be millimeters, I could not get the probe to work with Inches.

The probe should be connected to the A5 input on the arduino.
I also found this text on the net

I'm using proximity sensors for my limit switches. If you are having trouble with your Z axis limit switches not working, try swapping the connector over to the Spindle Enable pins... There are two versions of GRBL, one that uses the old z limit and one that swaps it over. I also hooked up a touch probe and created a macro so it measures the z height of your work accurately by finding the height at medium speed, then again at low speed.

Hope it helps

I just tested this on my machine, probe is connected to A5. You should see the probe position reported.
