I took a pair of audio jacks, wired up pin 5 and ground to one of them, and connected the other one to the touch plate and an alligator clip. From there, you can use the “Touch Plate” feature in Chilipeppr, all you need to do is enter in your plate thickness, and hit “Run”. You can see in the video that after I zero it out, I remove th…

It’s nice because I typically user Chilipeppr, which has support for it, so it’s easy to do. For the times when I’m using Easel, I’ll use the “wiggle a piece of paper under the bit” method, which seems to work well enough for the wood projects I’ve been doing.
