BDsensor

any plans to support the BD Sensor.... real time bed leveling without having the Z move. Marlins support exists, asn klipper is in the works.... hoping RepRap is coming. Enayone?

Can personally confirm that it DOES work reliably (BTDT testing) -
@ptegler someone asked the BD devs and they have no plans to support RRF. It would be up to someone not affiliated with them to add the support
-
@ptegler do you have one of these sensors? It looks like an inductive sensor with I2C (unfortunately not a great choice for communications)
Which Duet mainboard do you have - thinking about I2C support.

@ptegler sorry, i was thinking of https://beacon3d.com/

@jay_s_uk yep say beacon.... magnetics and carriage mounting limitations ...too many issues wit hte Beacon
I've got one in hand but have not gone beyong simple Arduino testing to play with it. (I like supporting the little guy developing stuff). A couple of the Klipper coders have played with it.... but no details as to integration are forthcoming.
The I2C interface is to the SBC. I've been trying to push the designer to talk to the various board mfrs to integrate, including pointing him here and at Duet3d specifically to support the RepRap community (as Marlin is already complete.) I told him indeed the RepRap community is still a much larger user base than Klipper. My initial Klipper support comments to the dev guy, he has since forked Klipper himself but i haven't played with it yet.
As to the choice of the I2C...he uses as different library...not constantly xmittng the address so much faster comms. -
@ptegler thanks, please ask him to make contact with me either on here or via email info@duet3d.com
