Filament Measurement device
-
Wanted to share a little device I created to measure filament, wonder if there is a way to get duet to read the distances

@adamfilip I would like to wire up this device to my Duet2Wifi and use M591 to read the AB signals
Encoder im using has A,B,5v and GND connections. where should I connect the A & B cables on the Duet2wifiBTW I am also usinga Duex5 expansion board

@adamfilip Quadrature signals cannot to be directly fed into the Duet with current firmware. What we do with the magnetic filament monitor is convert the position signals into a signal on a single wire that can be fed into an endstop input.

That is done on an attiny, and the position is read from a hall effect sensor but as you already have an Arduino setup to convert from quadrature to length you can adapt the firmware I have linked to run on the arduino.
