      I am about to fit the laser type filament monitors. My extruders are designed with a built in microswitch for detecting filament present. According to the instructions, the terminals are normally closed when the filament is present. Can someone link me to a wireing diagram of a laser filament monitor (1.7) incorporating the filament present microswitch?
      Some links to configuration appreciated. I have two extruders with two seperate hotends in my setup.
      Many thanks in advance...

        THIS page says to connect your "Filament-out" microswitch to the "SW" pins on the LASER filament monitor PCB.

        THIS page says then choose monitor type 6 "P6"
