Wow!

        This sounds like a very nice development. 

I’m especially interested as it was a new AFM in my 1.9 that was not working a used one saved me. 

So, hoping whoever is developing this might consider also a 1.9 option. 


Please keep us posted on how this came about and what is happening with it. 

Very cool.
