    Hello,

    Trying to build my first CNC router here. Recently purchase Xpro V3 board and i want to use an ATX PSU. Now my question is, using this ATX PSU, do i lose the Z-probe connection? because, the on/off switch connection using ATX PSU is using the D3 (Z-probe) pin. Anyone, please help me ? Capture.JPG

    Unsure of the answer, but strongly want to advise against using an ATX. The port is more there just to cater for retrofits in existing 12v systems. Running off 12v severely limits acceleration and torque. You will be disappointed, please strongly consider going 24v (ATX is 12v only)
