How to setup probe on Mesa 7i96

I'm trying to set up a probe on my Mesa 7i96.  I am running +5vdc to one of the input pins.  I have the pin configured as probe in.  The probe is not working.  Should I be running +24 vdc?

Please disregard. I found where I asked this same question when i first installed the 7i96 on an older machine.

I'm sorry folks I do have a problem just the opposite of what I had before. It just plain does not recognize that a probe is hooked up. I have checked and I do have +5vdc going to input pin 1. I tried all the things I was told to do before and linuxcnc won't run if I put that stuff in the files.

No, +5 volts DC should be enough. Make sure the probe is hooked to the pin in the right way. If it still doesn't work, try moving the probe to a different pin and trying again.

Beware that first input (or output) pin on Mesa headers is input.00 in hal, not input.01

I think the probe is hooked up the right way. I have +5vdc going to that pin when the probe is closed I have checked that already. It will be very difficult to get to it move but I guess I will try it. It's hook to the second input pin which is labeled 01..
