My first post on the forum but I'm after a little help.
I'm no electrical engineer or anything but have some basic knowledge.
What I'm doing is making a touch probe for my CNC machine to be used with mach3 software. Many of them use a cable from the probe to the paraell port, but I want to try a wireless version.
I've attached a very basic drawing which outlines the basic elements I'm after although I'm aware I may need additonal things to get it working. The system works by completing the circuit and when the probe breaks the circuit it assumes it has touched something.
I'm not to bothered what the wireless device is, something fairly cheap, simple, compact.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate the help.
Cheers
Ant
