Probe wiring using magnets

[jonsar13]

Hi I have just swapped out my v1 probe for a thick shim and I connect the router and the shim with wires soldered to magnets is anyone else doing this . Have they had any issues

the magnets go flying all over the place when you turn the router on.

I can see how this will be a problem but not insurmountable

Yep, same. No issues so far

A sensible person might not have got this far ahead of himself, but with pretty much all the bench space taken while I reshuffle things, this seemed like a nice little project to while away the evening after a day out. I’m not sure if it’s a case of great minds thinking alike, or if I’m channelling you again @DougJoseph , but I discovered you’d made something similar to the magnetic sensor except no doubt you checked yours to check that they had a conductive coating - I did not! Lucky for me…

As long as you have a good electrical connection, it doesn’t matter if it’s a clamp or a magnet.

Sorry about that. I shouldn’t be allowed to internet after I take my meds.
