Are there support for filament diameter sensor in smoothie firmware? I Can’t remember if i have seen it or not.
Imported from wikidot
We can detect if the filament is moving or not : http://smoothieware.org/filament-detector
For the filament *diameter*, there is code in, but it’s not documented as this is not something anyone has hardware for at the moment and it’s largely untested.
Ok where can i find info about this then if it is not documented? I would like to try, as i have diameter sensor on my marlin based machine.
I think more people will get it as many have asked me how it works.
I actually can’t find the code, maybe ask on the smoothie-dev mailing list ?
This definitely isn’t common enough hardware for somebody to document the code yet, but if you can use it and show it works it’ll help getting there.
I would like to test it too and then give feedback.
