Hi Guys, I just bought a probe digitizer in the hopes of pulling some x,y,z, measurements off of parts. Finding software to do this is hard but currently I am trialing "GRBL Plotter" with "Surface Scan". The friendly guys at CNC3D have helped me with the nighthawk, its going well so far but this controller looks for PNP inputs (my probe is NPN). I will get a NPN-PNP converter (also conveniently available from CNC3D). The nighthawk has two inputs for "Probe" (Signal +12V | Ground), these digitizing probes have a third wire for the +12V "Power", middle wire "Signal", then "Ground" More info here minus the background noise: https://discuss.inventables.com/t/3-wire-3d-touch-probe/140839 I hope to get this setup and working, theres not a lot of user friendly digitising programs out there but others ive heard of are bCNC and some Mach3 stuff. Cheers!

I am new(ish) to Commander and Nighthawk having previously used several GRBL boards and UCCNC. My primary jobs invlove milling titanium, which is a sod of a tghing to work with, particularly when using 1mm carbide bits. My questions is;- how do I raise the spindle before aborting a job? As it is, if I hit "HOLD" I can't raise the spindle and if I hit "End Job" my expensive carbide bits grind to a stop on the workpiece.

Hello, I am having a problem with build 303. When I use the WHB04B wireless controller the application closes instantly! I reverted to build 302 to resolve the issue. Are you experiencing this problem? Good day
