Cool stuff. I know from being a PLC programmer years ago that there had to be a something that would limit an axis but wasn't sure what.

Thanks for indulging the question.

@superjett Glad they worked out. I've been happy with them.

I'm using my old Fluke 75 from 1995 and you can't zero the leads out, so it's reading .7-.8 on a short and about 1.2 on the bed. So, it's anyone's guess what it really is.

What I decided on was to buy a 12v power supply and external MOSFET.

I plan on testing with the 12v cranked up to max and with my spare 24v lowered as far as it will go.

I'm not a fan of either of these options really because it's adding components onto my frame, but I'll be able to print.

I can't think of any reason why you would need to wait for 30 seconds.

Well I obviously have an interest in this but what everyone who uses piezo says after they get it working, (and it may take a little tweaking and tuning to get there) is "wow, this thing is amazing, my first layers are perfect now" or words to that effect.

So you know where I would go. The only other z-sensing system that is comparable in terms of convenience, accuracy, repeatability and versatility (use any surface) is the Smart Effector which works in the same way (but using a different sensing modality) and this is currently aimed at deltas although I'm sure you could adapt it with clever mounting, you can definitely adapt piezo to almost any printer.

Or just use pronterface it does work.

There is a section on how to find a compatible TFT panel in the instructions at https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/paneldue/.

The 7 inch fire tablet or similar should work well. I use a 4 or so years old nexus 7 inch tablet which i think is a higher resolution. You can use chrome's Dev tools to look and see what the web interface looks like at different screen sizes.

Worked great tonight, well except for me setting it 1 layer early. Thanks again.

Sure would be nice to have that as a function or programmable as a macro?
