Connecting xyz probe with linux cnc was created by Eugene12
Hello,
I'm new here and run linux cnc on mill and lathe with sherline driver box in their computer.
Wow now I use a mechanical edge finder, it works fine (under a thou) but consumes time which is critical for me.
So I ordered a xyz probe which I saw working on some cnc routers. 
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002454673762...1.0.0.510d4c4dHY0gBX
My driver box doesn't have any output for a probe.
When it came I found that  it has 2 wires  and I don't know how to connect it and run.
I also consider this one www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003434486963...00025771673783%22%7D
but it seems it goes with just wires
Is it possible to put it in a usb input (i have plenty of them) or may be mic
I also have a parallel port breakout board www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07N2MYDKR/ref=...01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but still don't understand how to use it.
Thank you for your help

Does the box have _any_ unused inputs?

Is there a serial port (a real one?)

Do you think that there are any unused pins in your parallel port?
