    I'm using OB Blackbox and OB CONTROL to control my CNC, and my computer is a late 2011 Macbook Pro. I went to use my Z probe for the first time (standard OB Z touch plate) and as soon as it completed the circuit, my laptop restarts. I tried it again and got the same result.

    Has anyone seen this issue before? Seems like a very odd thing to happen as a result of probing.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Now that I think about it, I think I put a two pin connector on my Z probe, and I didn't look closely at my blackbox when plugging it in. Looks like I need a 3-pin so I can hit the 1st and 3rd terminal, which would explain how it could be hitting V+ and GND. I'll check that out and give it a shot when I get home.
