@KenW, I believe my thermal fuses are 165C. They are readily available via Aliexpress.

@mrehorstdmd said in EndStop Accuracy Test:

................ I ran into one problem with opto endstops in my printer- the work room where the printer sits has a large, east-facing window and sunlight falling directly on the printer interfered with them. It took a while to figure out what was going on, but closing the curtains on the window solved the problem. I've never had any other problems with them.

That reminds me of a similar issue I came across. I use a slotted opto switch to get my bed somewhere close at highish speed before homing "proper" using the nozzle. When I first tried to test the switch, it didn't seem to be triggering until I realised that it was seeing straight through the thin piece of paper I was using as a "flag". 😊 (It doesn't see though a piece of 2mm thick aluminium though). ☺

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm getting ready to setup my orbiter filament sensor.

@OwenD many thanks for the clearly written explanation with examples, definitely going to give this a shot in the next few days!

@nikscha yes, do a check before hand e.g.

@T3P3Tony
okay, thank you.
I'll search there.

@dc42 After looking at my code, I was querying the wrong probe. The sensors.probe[1].value works, the problem was between the keyboard and the chair.

However, using the Object model plugin, no probe value gets updated at sensors.probes[#].value[0]. Even when meta-commands and the status board shows the right value.

Add: The JSON file gets updated but requires refreshing the website for the values to be updated into the Object model plugin.

This may be covered by the events system.

@Nazar
You can check the success of any Gcode command using "result"
0= success, 1= warning, 2 = error

@deckingman Just sharing Ian. No need to take it personally.

No offence taken - I'm much too long in the tooth for that. Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation. It's like giving someone directions of how to get from A to B and then someone else saying one could get to B by starting at C instead of A. Then more people suggesting ways to get to C. While it may all be factually correct, it's rather pointless is one is already at A. 🙂

@chrishamm , Thanks for the quick follow up, appreciate it! Linking the github issue for those who may want to track.
