Hi, as suntravel suggested, I’m ordering either Ditron and Aikron scales.

Couple of other questions:

1) documentations: any wiring/configuration documentations out there yet for this?

2) to get started quickly with can I import my setting from acorn to acornsix as a baseline or do I need to ...

Thank you both, I literally know nothing about scales so this is immensely helpful.

Any input on absolute vs incremental? Also any downside of buying the highest resolution one I can find?

Hi,

Hi,
I just received my probe actually. I'm right now using a cheaper Chinese one from eBay. Both are the same in that they are Normally closed switches. ITTP uses a 5 pin DIN connector so I'm waiting on ...

You did never mention what type of machine and tool holding you have so giving instructions on how to setup tool height offsets without this knowledge is just not possible and could be misleading.

The Version 2 of the ProbeApp has now a ToolOffsetter Module which has a Guides Setup that ...

Hi everyone,
I have a stationary Chinese tool touch off sensor (https://s.alicdn.com/@sc01/kf/HTB1AZi6NSzqK1RjSZFpq6ykSXXan.jpg) and a probe (https://hallmarkdesign.co.nz/probe) connected to my acorn. I'm very much confused as to how to calibrate both of these guys. My Z Reference is set whenever I ...
