Filament sensor not detecting filament run-out
-
I recently purchased a BigTreeTech Smart Filament sensor and have been trying to get it to work. When testing to see if it would detect a filament run-out, it did not. I double checked my wiring and that seems to be correct, so the issue must be in my config file. here it is:
; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 3)

@lildannyoso said in Filament sensor not detecting filament run-out:

You've got your filament monitor disabled.
From the M591 page:
Sn 0 = disable filament monitoring -
@alankilian Wow such an obvious oversight on my part. It works now!

We've all been there.
Sometimes the eyes of the author just CANNOT see obvious mistakes.
I'm glad you got it running!
