Bitzero v2 setup on Pro 5

[mkwoodcrafting (Mike Kittilstved)]

Manual online is old and not for the Pro 5.

Anyone have a link to how to set this one up?

Thanks

and

Using/verifying the BitZero

Here is how I check out the functionality of the machine/BitZero: first check that you have sent the correct Z-axis configuration This can be easily done by jogging down to the wasteboard surface, setting zero, then using the Rapid Position command to lift 6mm above the current zero — measure how much the machine moved — if it’s wrong: open the Log Window go to the MDI (EDIT: Note that it will need to be enabled in options in current versions) and send $$ and check that the Z-axis steps/mm …

Just pick the right version, v1 or v2 in the Probe window.

Can you attach the little magnet to the bit and do the probe with that or do you have to switch out the bit and use the little metal bit-like proby thing that came with the bit zero?

If the tool and any coating are conductive, then probing can be done with a tool. Note that results may vary based on tool geometry — better consistency will be had with a probing pin (which is why they are included).
