Probotix BOB needed

Post by tnjind »

When my junky machine crashed it didn't stop, even after the torch popped off. I have a limit switch for Z over travel and one for the magnetic torch mount. It has worked in the past but since I haven't used it in 2-3 years I couldn't remember where I left off trying to get the THC to work.

My switch circuit is working and I have it on pin 15 with the correct ground for that pin. I believe the break out board may be faulty.
So... I am hoping to find one to replace it, unfortunately I haven't had much luck in my quick search.

It is a Probotix PBX-RF, I would like to replace it with same as there is a relay board tied to it.

Does anyone know where I could purchase one, or happen to have one laying around willing to sell?

Not sure what all your using but guessing maybe Mach 3. Is the pin assignment still correct for your switches in your configuration?

Mach3, I opened the box again, probably 6 times now checking wiring and connections, I drew the wiring so I won't have to remember.
It should be showing in mach but doesn't.

Yep that's it. But I haven't found a current place to buy one. I think it's out of production.

No luck finding a direct replacement so does anyone have a suggestion for a direct replacement that will work with mach3 and a Minithc?
