Filament Runout Sensor ...
I am trying to set up a filament runout sensor on my printer. The sensor is a simple endstop switch, the problem im having is I cant find any place to define what endstop plug on my zrib board... I have enabled jam protection in the firmware already.. Any help would be much welcome...
Comments
Thank you for all your help...
I am using an ramps 1.4 board and 2 extruders.
The config file has the following settings:
After downloading the firmware and sending the command M119
only the state of the endswitches was send back.
I tried differend settings with one extruder, differend jam detection settings and differend digital pins and free
endstops. But no success. The jam detection state or state of the choosen pin was not showing up by sending M119.
Has anyone an idea what is missing to get this running?
Many thanks in advanced.
Jam commands are
- M513 - Clear all jam marker.
- M600 Change filament
- M602 S<1/0> P<1/0>- Debug jam control (S) Disable jam control (P). If enabled it will log signal changes and will not trigger jam errors!
- M603 - Simulate a jam
As the setting showing, jam detection is configured as switch. So end of filament should be detected.
How can i check the function/configuration of switch/software?
High (TRIGGERED) OR LOW (NOT TRIGGERED).
When I run M119 gcode it returns accordingly to either H/L.
Before I print something I put gcode in "M602 S0 P1 because If I don't, it will always detect a JAMM.
Still it's like the filament sensor is not there because it keeps printing even if the filament sensor is TRIGGERED or not.
These are my settings:
MECHANICS -> ENDSTOP SECTION
XMIN -> Switch on GND, normally open
MECHANICS > Jam detection and out of filament detection Section
Jam Action -> Show Jam/out of filament dialog and block communication (requires LCD)
TOOLS -> Extruder section
Extruder 0
Jam detection pin: XMIN
Enable pullup resisitor for jam pin : SELECTED
Am I missing something?
Thanks
