### How do I use it?
I designed the sensor to connect to a 3D Printer's controller like any other endstop or Z-Probe. Future versions will have an i2c interface that will allow the 3D Printer's controller to change parameters on the fly during a print or before a fast move.
I designed the sensor to connect to a 3D Printer's controller like any other endstop or Z-Probe. The sensor also includes an i2c interface that allows the 3D Printer's controller to change parameters on the fly during a print or before a fast move. Marlin support is already incoming, and I'm working on getting integration through Klipper and RepRap.
There's also a sketch included with the github source that can be installed on an Arduino Uno to act as a USB-I2C bridge to set parameters for now until 3d printer controller firmware adopts the new protocol.
The piezo element is mounted somewhere on the 3D Printer in such a way that it undergoes mechanical stress when the nozzle touches the bed. So far there have been three distinct mounting schemes that appear to work well:

- Zero offset (The nozzle itself is the sensor!)
- Compatible with ALL surface types
- No plugging in removable sensors for leveling
- 5v or 3.3v signal output
- Can be configured for active high *or* active low signal (endstop vs probe input)
- Tunable over UART / I2C
