Jam detection help please
Is there a step-by-step guide to configuring jam detection on Repetier, or does anyone have any suggestions to help, please?
I am using Repetier Host v2.0.0, Server v0.80.3 and firmware v0.92.9 and have added a Hall effect filament jam detector that pulses onto pin D40.
I have configured it in firmware using:
When I test the extruder by extruding 100mm it does this fine but the jam detector reports that it is slipping and eventually reports a jam when I try to print
Am I doing something obviously wrong? Is there any way to display the pulses or steps that the jam detector is reporting?
And as a secondary point, is there an optimum length per pulse for the detector? I am able to add more magnets to increase the pulses per turn so can easily amend the current setting.
Thanks.

I am using Repetier Host v2.0.0, Server v0.80.3 and firmware v0.92.9 and have added a Hall effect filament jam detector that pulses onto pin D40.
I have configured it in firmware using:
- Extruder stepper: 255 steps/mm
- Jam_Steps: 1366 steps (the detector gives 1 step every 5.357mm so I multiplied the steps/mm of the extruder by 5.357)
- Jam_Slowdown_Steps: 1500
- Jam_Slowdown_To: 70%
- Jam_Error_Steps: 2000
- Jam_Min_Steps: 50
When I test the extruder by extruding 100mm it does this fine but the jam detector reports that it is slipping and eventually reports a jam when I try to print
