z homing wires

[jms]

Hi everyone, just about done with building Power Route. If I read directions on z homing switch and wires, it says there is a probe attached to this wire, I don't have that, I have 3 separate pairs of wires with (3) 4 pin plugs and  I have a probe that is separate....probe, aligator clip, other end is 4 pin plug. I am assuming I just connect z switch wires as I would the X and Y and this part of instructions doesn't pertain to my setup. I hope I am correct, cause it confused me.

I think there are two versions of the Power Route control box - one with six four-pin ports and one with seven four-pin ports.

If your control box has six ports, then the Z-limit and probe should both be wired to a single four-pin plug.

If your control box has seven ports, you will have a separate Z-limit and probe, each with their own four-pin plug.

See if you can take pictures of both your control box and the different cables you got. That will help sort out what's going on.

Yes , my box has 7 ports. I believe that clears it up.

Thanks, Joe

Yes, blsinc is correct. We are overdue on some updates. We made some changes that are really improvements (like putting those on two separate connectors to make it easier to take off and store the probe), but we need to clear that up in the instructions.

Thanks Derek.
