Magnetic Filament Sensor NEW Issue(s)
-
So, I bought originally two laser filament sensors and simply couldn't get them work. I got a Magnetic Sensor from Filastruder with the hopes that this would be easier. But I am still struggling. I have checked my wiring a million times and all it right.
After I installed it, I see the green light three times, and then it flashes RED - Green - Red - Green and so on. When I put filament through it it blinks rapid green. I don't see any explanation about a altering Green/Red flashing at idle?
Any way I installed, sent the M591with all the recommended parameters. I then send a print to the printer, and as soon as the printer receives the GCODE, I get almost an immediate "Filament Sensor E0 is not working". I clear it and resume and again it keeps popping up. It won't even let the printer heat. It's throwing the code before it will heat. I messed with it and adjusted everything I can think of and no go.
It's also not clear where the M591 and parameters should reside? config.g? start GCODE?
Lastly I think this might be my issue. My printer is a SeeMeCNC Artemis. I have been told from purchase to never update the FW to Duet 2.02. My question among other things is, do I need to update my FW to get this sensor to work properly? I don't see anywhere where it references the FW other than the An parameter in the help guides.
Thank You.

The magnetic filament sensor requires at least 2.03
-
Well that is good to know. Thank You. I wish it stated that as a prerequisite on the install page. I appreciate the response.

It does say it on the dozuki install page under configuring filament monitor

I have added a note in the introduction to the documentation page about firmware verisons to make it clearer, also added some more information about LED flashes:
-
@T3P3Tony Thank You! But what about at idle when it flashes GREEN-RED-GREEN-RED etc.
M911 ah crap... wipe, and start over.

That's normal. Green means it is sending sensor movement data. Red means it is sending status information, which it only does when there is no new movement data.
-
The green LED will then flash periodically red and green indicating communication to the Duet (the green flashes are position reports, the red ones are status reports).

Hello,
where i can buy actually one magnetic sensor in germany?Micha.
-
@Micha you can buy it direct from the Duet website I believe. The website should have a list of suppliers.
