did you get it sorted?

need more information on your install. are you using the linuxcnc iso? if so i think it was sent out with an older repository listing, you may need to remove it first and try uninstalling qtpyvcp probe basic completely and then use the docs to reinstall with the key allowing it to install the source address.

yeah that is not a good orientation method trying to pickup the curved body.  you would probe the top flat of the pin to give it a more square edge to have a strongly defined edge to trigger.  or better use a wedge/pie shaped block that gave the proximity sensor a flat square edge to sense.  this is how i have those setup on my machine as home and limit switches and they are actually quite repeatable in the sub 0.001" as seen in the video:

I agree with your assessment that it is easier to keep up with things if you give people a narrow lane, but i did that with the current implementation and it was a bit short sighted i think (you are proof of that).  I would like to find an easy way to setup everything in a more modular way maybe.  i think your outline is a good starting point for sure! Thanks for taking the time to write it out!

probe basics tool setting is really just a framework for one method, changing it is pretty easy and utilizing the existing parameters for different use cases is also pretty easy. everything is written in the tool_touch_off.ngc subroutine. you can change and edit that and use the passed var values for your own desired use. you just need to formulate how you plan on making things all work together as expected and what and where you plan to measure from. if someone comes up with a universally accepted method and can explain it and there is a consensus on it, i am happy to assist in writing the subroutine for it. but it needs to be a clearly defined methodology.

I think I have seen them in catalogues, but wasn't getting anywhere searching.

Then I tried a Google images search and I think it might be a variant of the Berg Flex-E-Belt.

Sorry for the late reply.
I think that the problem is that you have never "addf"-ed the and2 function to a thread, so it never runs.

addsomewhere and it might start to work.
