Filament out sensor

Hello, I would like to connect the optoendstop as easy way to pause automatically print, when there is no filament left there, until I can check it, but I just can't find a way to get it right in FW configurator you have on your site. Like is it even considered jam detection? Or what should be done to make it work?

    Yes select jam detection but not regular version. Select switch on high or low depending on sensor. Then it is only a out of filament sensor and also stops print.

    And in setting for jam detection and out of filament detection, i should leave the preset numbers for regular steps per cycle, slowdown steps, slowdown to... Or should I fill in 0 everywhere?

    These are only relevant with switching signal which you do not have here, so any value will do.

    In current firmware config tool for version 0.92.9 i can't find a option to select "switch on high or low". Du yoe have a hint for me where and to look for?

    Thanks.

    In mechanics tab near bottom "JAM_METHOD" defines if high or low is the signal to trigger, or if you measure movement by a pulsing signal.
