Touchprobe

This my first attempt to design a touchprobe to be used with CNCs and repraps. It's very simple, built from parts you can get from any hardware store. It requires some work tough if you want to use it intensely.

The idea is based on renishaw patents and various designs that can be found on the internet.

It should be compatible with mach3 and EMC2, however I wrote a module for the smoothie-project:

• http://smoothieware.org/
• http://smoothieware.org/touchprobe
  It is in the "edge" branch on the github repository.

TODOs:

• It needs a mount
• Some screws to really fix the tip (for now it only holds trough pressure)
• Redesign the disk which holds the rods (That hacky hot-glued thing)
