@jrast, I had a bit of an epiphany and invented a way for the STAR to measure the tip length on a specified channel, even though, as you confirmed, it...

One update I was thinking of after our last conversation that I would like to implement before we merge: adding an "RF" (request firmware) command at the beginning of the...

Small clarifications to the method: - It is important to note that the returned value represents the y-value of the lowest possible channel part: - if a tip is attached...
