Post by bleiler60 »

Noticed that there are new wiring diagrams for a wireless module for the KP-3 probe , but doesn't seem to be listed on the Centroid website. anyone know when it will be available?

we are just starting alpha testing with the new Wireless module with 5 or 6 power users.
hopefully it will on the website for public sale in 2-3 months.
Basic Facts
- The Centroid Probe Wireless module is compatible with the KP-3 and the TT-4 Probes.
- The Wireless Module works with All Centroid CNC controller platforms (Acorn, AcornSix, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11, Hickory)
- The KP-3 Probe and Wireless module is a direct Plug and Play replacement/upgrade for existing DP-4 users as the Wireless receiver plugs directly into the standard Centroid Probe plug that is found on almost all Centroid CNC controls for the last 25 years.

i'll post more info here as it becomes available.

During a TeamViewer session a couple of months ago. I asked about the wireless probe and was told they scrapped it. Adding it to the probe made it to long to use on some mills.

I learned recently that some of the systems we sent out for evaluation are still in use. However, that project was shelved. There are some ideas floating around about a new and improved version but it is not under active development.
