@Swaper pictures on a paneldue are unlikely to be possible at a sensible speed.

So after some research.... and a quick look at the PrintEye code by @EasyTarget

https://forum.duet3d.com/post/110578

I think I have a plan based on the Json unpacking in PrintEye, to extract the following data:

extr: the positions of the extruders
efactor: the current extrusion factors (see M221 command), one value per extruder

Then sending a M221 to tune the extrusion factor after a user defined position delay based on filament path length between the sensor and the extruder melt zone.

The only kink is I'm not sure how to send a value to the Arduino to set the filament path length between the sensor and the extruder melt zone. I may have to hard code this to start with, or add a local display to set the value.

Does anyone know if I can add user defined elements to the json package sent to the Arduino as a response to M408? My thoughts are set a value for the filament path delta for each extruder with a user defined G/MCode (?) in the config.g.

I need to do some prototyping and merge it with Thomas Sanladerer's code and I possibly have a way forward!

Multiple extruders needs a little thinking but I guess I could just connect multiple sensors to the one Arduino.

Also passthrough for the PanelDue, but I could use the code by @dc42 for the CNC pendant to sort that.

Will report back as and when I make progress! Another project to add to the list 🙂

@gost101 That will be fine as long as you don't draw too much current for the 5 Volt supply or the connector you are using.

@fcwilt

Oh sure it's because the gantry de-rack is typically a few mm....but can be as much as 10 or more mm depending on which moron has had their way with the machine....so a special de-rack with a suitably large dive value is called so as to avoid the creaming of the bed. Then every sliced print can call a simple g28 which will home everything much more accurately and quickly without the large dive to correct for error which is no longer there.

Thank you!

Thanks but I have no idea what you are talking about.
