Hello there everyone, I've been working on developing a new type of piezoelectric z-probe utilizing an onboard microcontroller.
I opened an issue some time ago looking to get support for the sensor added to RRF, and Tony has advised I open a thread on the forums to discuss consensus on adding gcode and a menu for configuring the sensor to Duet Web Control.
Here's a link to the github issue
And a link to the sensor's documentation

Just putting this here for when things move along. We've finished building the I2C integration, and I've posted an initial integration page: https://docs.pyroballpcbs.com/tutorials/config/pyr0piezo-i2c/pyr0piezo-i2c/
There's a UART/I2C bridge sketch available on the github: https://github.com/pyr0ball/pyr0piezo/tree/master/firmware/AVR-Source/Pyr0_Piezo_i2c_Bridge
hi there! I can provide technical details on the sensor if required.
After speaking with @Nuramori about it, he'll need 2 pins for I2C (SDA/SCL) and one for the z-probe output itself.
He and I discussed the possibility of reassigning one of the I2C pins as the probe output upon interrupt function, but that'll be pretty tricky to implement without code-firmware changes on the tool-head board
