Use BLTouch as probe #1457

Hi all

I use bCNC on a Rpi 4 with a Mega using GRBL for a small CNC machine.

I need to engrave some anodized aluminum panels, with just about 0,1mm depth.

I'm experiencing issues with the surface being warped, so I'm thinking in use autolevel for it as I do on PCB's, but as the anodized is not conductive, I'm thinking in use a BLtouch 3D printer touch probe I have lying around to probe the surface of the piece not needing to be conductive.

Is there a easy way to make it work with bCNC?

Thanks in advance
