After much head scratching, writing, re-writing, and help from Tom, I now have my probing program to the point it can probe an outside corner, then update the fixture offsets in KMCNC.
Here's a quick video I took earlier -
I've still got a good amount of work to do to get it to the point I can release a version for testing (the configuration is currently hard coded, and the C code mixed in with my machine specific code), but I thought I'd post this to see how much interest there is.

Re: Probing program
Is there anybody interested in testing this?
I've added the functionality so the various KFlop bits/userdata locations are now editable and stored, and the required C code is generated automatically based on the entered settings, so it's just a case of copying and pasting the code into a file, then setting it running.
At the moment it can probe in any single basic X or Y axis.
Next on my list is probe calibration, but I'm still considering how best to implement that, so double touch probing may take priority.
