Hello!

I have already setup Probe 1 (Z-Probe) and Probe 2 (3d-probe) and want to add Probe 3 for tool length measurements.
Unfortunately i can only find two PIN/PORTS to be used for Probe configuration.

Is there any possibility to add 3rd Probe 3 which is connected to other PIN/PORT?

Thanks for help and support.

you can use multiple probes on the one input IF they are triggered the same , I have one pin configured for normally open and the other for normally closed , so at present I have a touch sensor and a probe on the one input.

You could also use a input trigger to activate a probe input when the input is triggered.

You can connect normally closed (NC) probes in series to one input and you can connect normally open (NO) probes in parallel to a single input.
If you have both types then you can use 2 separate inputs.
