For my MESA based system which started out as a PP type I had:
# net min-home-x <= parport.0.pin-11-in
Now it's which is the same pin on the DB25.
net min-home-x <= hm2_7i92.0.gpio.014.in

I have my probe on the second PP documented like this:
#IO Connections for P1
#Pin# I/O Pri. func Sec. func Chan Pin func Pin Dir
# 15 20 IOPort Probe 1 Probe (In) Probe Input

# ---probe signal---
# begin Touch Probe
# DB25-2_15 is Touch Probe Input.
net probe-in <= hm2_7i92.0.gpio.020.in_not => motion.probe-input
# end Touch Probe

I believe you'd have to do this:
net probe-in <= parport.0.pin-11-in => motion.probe-input

you might need parport.0.pin-11-in_not if the polarity is backwards.

Hope that helps a bit.
John

OK,Thank you ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Have you tried using "probe_screen_v2" in "gmoccapy GUI"

I have a problem using "probe_screen_v2" in "gmoccapy GUI". I followed the guide, I opened "gmoccapy GUI" and found that there was no interface about "probe_screen"

I do not mean to hijack this thread but why don't you switch to qtDragon? Chris has been busy the last few months to make it a very good and stable screen (and it look great too). You can use the gmoccapy probing routines if you want to remap M6. The probe-basic and VersaProbe screens are already built in and work fine. All you need is a properluy setup probe and the probe screens will work. For the M6 remap you have to do a little more work, but there is some progress in automating stuff and making things more user friendly.

I have been using the screen for months now, most errors are fixed, the develloppers are very responsive and nice in case of a bug or question.
As I understand it Norbert is working on a new version of gmoccapy, you can wait for that too.

Thank you for your recommendation, I will try qtDragon.
I just started learning LinuxCNC and always use "gmoccapy GUI". Compared with gmoccapy GUI, I don't know much about qtDragon

There is proper documentation at linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtdragon.html it's updated on an almost weekly basis.
You can always ask questions at the qtvcp forum.
