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.

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?
