I am running a PRT Alpha with 7.2 gearboxes.

I upgraded my control PC with a Win 8 PC and downloaded new control software and I upgraded the firmware.

Problem: Output #4 (stops the ShopBot) comes on when I set up the probe for a probe and the error message says that the probe must be contacting something (no) or the probe wiring is incorrect (no).

Actually, output #4 comes on without the probe being connected electrically as soon as I do the final steps on the probe setup and tell it to probe, I get the error message. Must be a configuration setting somewhere, but I can't figure which one.

Any ideas please?

Disregard, I found a broken wire at the probe's WAGO connector.

Drat, I always feel better if I can blame the software!
