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: @@ -31,6 +33,8 @@ The piezo element is mounted somewhere on the 3D Printer in such a way that it u - 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 #### FFC Cable Chain Extra Features:
