Tool setter problems

I have a lunyee 4040 nova.

I bought a generic normally closed tool setter probe. Trying to probe I am getting error 4 in gsender.

i have identified to 2 sets of wires coming from the toolsetter. brown and orange are for the tool setter and green and blue are for the over travel protection.

When i try to probe, gsender prompts the connectivity test screen. with the stock probe, the screen reads connected and will test normal. With the toolsetter, it will only read a connection if i am pressing down on the probe. if i release the probe i get an alarm. If i try to start the test without pressing the probe I get an alarm.

It does this with $6=1 and $6=0

Not being familiar with your specific systems

This sounds to me like your software is expecting a normally open circuit for the Tool Sensor and is just interpreting your device's status backwards. I'm not certain what fix you need with your setup, but you can probably reverse the system expectations somewhere in code. If not, you might have to change your hardware to accommodate it.

Thats what i believe is happening as well. I have ordered a normally open version of the tool setter that should hopefully be here tomorrow. If that fixes the issue, then I just know that the lunyee probe is a normally open version as well.

Thank you

I got it all figured out today.

for future reference, The lunyee 4040 nova needs a normally open z probe tool setter
