From the project
Inventables carvey board which supports PCB milling AutoLeveler probing
Carvey smartclamptm homebrew PCB enhancement with autoleveling support =====
This is a working KiCad response to the inventables thread on how to height probe a PCB with the Carvey and Grbl Chillipeppr with autolevel plugin. Also a way to rapidly and inexpensively iterate on my PCB prototyping projects without long shipping times.
The new board has a convenient exposed zone outside the metallic clamp so that common alligator clips can be attached without long overhang wires as seen above in the pictures.
