Auto zero Z axis for mach3 mill

Zeroing tools for a CNC is very common any time you need to use it. It can be done by eye but not so consistent as a electrical circuit. 

I therefore build a zeroing tool able to do this. The inspiration came from the the blog post from .instructables blog where someone wrote a script for mach3mill the software we also use.

I added and buzzer to also give an audible feedback when a touch is sensed. This did however increase the power consumption from the GPIO\’s so a transistor had to be added so the contact plate acts thought a power stage.
