- If you have a DIY CNC, you are doing yourself a disservice if you aren't using Linux CNC with the Probe Basic Graphic User Interface. The time savings are massive and LinuxCnc is cheap to get into. It will take some learning, but it is well worth it from the time saving and cost saving stand point. If you have any questions, please let me know. I plan on eventually making a guide from start to finish on installing Probe Basic on a computer with nothing on it. Some of the problems I had to deal with include having to add a graphics card, and I needed to copy all the subroutines into the G code examples folder LinuxCnc.
hey phillip
i am also using linuxcnc for my retrofit. I have probe basic downloaded and installed. (like you I needed a graphics card for open gl 3.2 anyway would love to chat about probe basic if you have any spare time. setting up touch probe now. But i am on the forums also so will probably pick the info up there

Hi Andrew, I’m glad to chat too, sorry for the slow reply! So far I’ve had a good experience using Probe Basic. For someone new to CNC, I find it much easier to use over the axis GUI. I have plans on adding a tool height probe and linear encoders and eventually servo motors. I will watch a few of your videos. Nice Mill! I plan on buying a Fadal sometime. Anyway, I’m replying 3 days late because I didn’t see your comment until just now. My email is philliplletrub@gmail.com, I will get a notification right away. Anyway, have a nice weekend.

What the hell? yours works just got mine set it up on masso and used a 5.6k resistor inverted switch and my light just stays on and doesn't register with masso board
Yours is hooked up wrong! The light should only turn on when the probe is touching
