There are options that do not involve replacing a small part. (1) just add an external low side resister (SMT parts are easy to remove) or (2) if the pressure sensor is actually a pressure-sensitive resister, then run it with more than 5 Volts. On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 9:40 AM gene heskett wrote:

Greetings Peter; The 7i76 has, I recall reading, the ability to do analog to digital conversions on the first 4 of its inputs. But the full scale range is 36 volts if I recall right. I don't recall the bit range, though, whether its 8 bit, or 16. Would it be possible to lower the full scale r

Greetings Peter; How hard would it be to convert the joint.#.free-tp-enable into move-is-in-progress signal? Prowling around with a hal-meter, I found this signal is true for the duration of a keyboard jog, but doesn't react during an gcode move from the mdi command line, or a keyboard jog aft
