Re: Touch plate wires
The cable I have is marked with a label saying 255-285.
The touch-plate connector is a 3-conductor tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) stereo 1/8" plug.
The center conductor (tip) and the middle conductor (ring) of the plug both go to the wire that has the magnet that attaches to the spindle/bit.
The outer conductor, the sleeve of the plug, goes to the banana plug that goes into the touch-plate.
There's not really a whole lot of magic to the thing.
Hope that helps.

Re: Touch plate wires
The magic is in getting the controller software to recognize the plate, which is what most of the fee goes towards.
I ended up making my own touchplate that works through USB, interacting with the controller software as a "keyboard" rather than plugging in to the controller directly. I can post details if anyone is interested.

Junior, I created a new thread:

Feel free to ask questions there. It's a simple solution that works well for me.
