Edge finder probe

If anyone is curious, so far I’ve had good luck with this touch probe on my work’s Nomad3. Probe seems repeatable and was not too hard to get set up. I bought both a minixlr cable and the touch probe on Amazon (the probe is the PGFun variant, normally open).

The wiring (from the female minixlr connector’s frame of reference) is Pin1-GND, Pin2-5V, Pin3-Signal.

NOTE: this does need a 6mm ER11 collet, which you can also buy from the same seller as the probe; I tried it in the 1/4" collet (being careful to not overtightening it) with no luck.
