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.

Just to divide 1600 by 5 = 320 steps/mm.

Do you have the steppers running? I am curious if that voltage level shifter works. I mean, it should work but I never came that far in my build.

I'm very interested in your solution, because I have the same setup and I'm trying to make it work.

I have ER20, non-repeatable collet and with every tool change need (want;)) to measure the tool tip. My tool setter is actually slightly below the worktable, and that lead me astray whether it's possible to make it work with Probe Basic native tool setting, since it requires (???) to know the distance of the shoulder of the spindle - I'm not sure.

I have a working tool setter in QTDragon via M6 remap and maybe that's the way to do it as well in Probe Basic. Any thoughts?

What is the mod as marked in the attached photo?
 

it lowers the voltage of the level shifters on the FPGA side to cope with the 1.8V on certain ports, is fixed in the current git for the board

what exactly do you mean?
