    Looking for ideas to combine 2 probe inputs to one on Tormach

    Try throwing a 50k ~ 100k resistor between collector and base. This should trigger the transistor whenever the probe is disconnected, but probably not be enough bias to offset the probe output when the probe output is triggered and goes to ground.

    Looking for ideas to combine 2 probe inputs to one on Tormach

    Fairly simple solution. The probe output is <Hi> until it’s triggered. Feed the probe output to the base of a medium power NPN transistor, TIP31 or similar. As long as the out put is Hi, the transistor is conducting. Run the tool setter in series with the transistor collector, emitter to ground...

If so, simple mod to add a relay to output the appropriate signal to be the same as your existing NC tool setter, then wire the relay output and tool setter in series. What’s the part number of the active sensor? What is your supply voltage? Get me that and I can...

    eBay & U.S. IRS Update

    Off on a tangent - I understand that when I sell something on eBay, I should be claiming that as income. However, what about reality - I bought a Busy Bee CT129 mill in 2010 for $1500, over the next 15 years I spent thousands of dollars on tooling, then sold it on Marketplace for $1000...
