RE: Generic voltage sensor
@dc42 unfortunately my electronics skills are limited. I can put the calc in front of my electronics guy, unless you know what to do off the top of your head? iIf so, I can put your formula into the software ASAP,

RE: Generic voltage sensor
@dc42 do understand correctly that the value reported by M308 S0 in my above example (applying your voltage divider) will be a reflection of the voltage detected between the outer pins of io6in?
For instance, if I configure the reply value range for 0-100, and my sensor generates 5v (dropped to ~1.65v), will M308 S0 report a value of 50? (hope my details are sensible, I'm not quite yet grasping all the particulars of the process)

RE: Generic voltage sensor
I have found
M308 S0 P"io6in" Y"linear-analog" A"DNAreader" F0
maybe effectively sets up the sensor, and
M308 S0
reads the sensors value.
I'm wondering though, how can I configure the sensor to be sensitive to the voltage range of the optical reader: 0-10v? -
RE: Referencing single-quote axes
@dc42 no, I am controlling via USB from a laptop. I am using DWC for diagnostics, and it is hampering that DWC and RepRap config tool only allow limited number of axes. Also, RepRap config tool does not supply the latest firmware.

Generic voltage sensor
I hope this isn't a question with an obvious answer, because I can't seem to find one.
I have an optical sensor that varies it's output between 0-10 volts.
What is the best way to configure a Mini5+ to read that sensor?
What is the best way to then get that reading?@dc42 this sounds like something you may know off the top of your head

RE: Referencing single-quote axes
@droftarts sorry, yes I meant 3.5.1.
I will update to 3.5.4.
I have 16 axes total, using 3 Mini5+ boards connected via CAN.My config.g config.g
Update: initial tests on 3.5.4 look like the issue is resolved! Thanks.

Referencing single-quote axes
I see that duet3d supports axes past D now which is vital to my application. However, I am having trouble referencing these axes. For instance:
G0 'a100
does not affect the 'a axis but rather the A axis.
Am I using the correct syntax?
I am using a Duet3d Mini5+ and firmware 2.5.1 -
RE: Referencing single-quote axes
The config tool will let me create configurations for lower-case axes such as 'a. But the home files it creates affect the A axis. For instance, the line
G1 H1 'a-155 F1000 ; coarse home
does not power the 'a axis but rather the A axis. This appears to be the case with all G-Code commands; commands for single-quote axis do not affect the single-quote axis, but rather the capital-letter access.

RE: Mini 5+ 3 deep
@droftarts while removing the resistors I accidentally also desoldered C97 (just below the resistors.) Did I trash the board?
