Orbiter filament sensor v2 setup
-
I've set orbiter filament sensor v2 set up recently.
It has 2 outputs (FS for sensing if filament is present) and FTU (outputs if filament is tangled or filament unload button is pressed).
The set up is slightly more elaborate than just a sensor since both outputs have 2 functions and logic is not straightforward as well. FS output works as expected as in changing state when filament is present or runs out, FTU output only changes state if filament is already present.I'm running FlySHT36v3 Max toolboard with
124
being board CAN address and connected FS toio1.in
to FTU toio2.in
inputs (taking 5v and ground from same 5 pin connector) and had to use triggers for things to work.
This is a section in config.g; Filament Sensor M950 J1 C"^124.io1.in" ; define logical input for filament auto load M581 P1 T3 S1 R0 ; define trigger for filament auto load triggers trigger3.g M581 P1 T2 S0 R0 ; define trigger for filament sensing triggers trigger2.g M950 J2 C"^124.io2.in" ; define logical input for filament unload M581 P2 T4 S1 R0 ; define trigger for filament auto unload triggers trigger4.g
trigger2.g:
; trigger2.g if state.status == "processing" M300 S2000 P100 ; play beep sound M291 P"Ran out of filament while printing" S0 T3 ; display message M25 elif state.status == "pausing" || state.status == "paused" M291 P"Retriggered filament sensor during pause" ; display message else M300 S2000 P100 ; play beep sound M291 P"Ran out of filament" S0 T3 ; display message
trigger3.g:
; trigger3.g M98 P"0:/macros/filament-load"
trigger4.g:
; trigger4.g if state.status = "processing" M300 S2000 P100 ; play beep sound M291 P"Filament is stuck or filament unload button pressed" S0 T3 ; display message M25 else M98 P"0:/macros/filament-unload"
filament-load
andfilament-unload
macros will need to be created and populated for this to work but that should be more or less straightforward and more printer-specific than general set up
Hope that helps
