Lately I have been tinkering with end stops more than anyone should and while looking in my Smoothie conversion parts bin it occurred to me that I could use my extra Middleman board and connector to make an endstop tester.
Done …
Schematic is here with use instructions:
Package is here, nothing impressive. It uses 2x 2016 button batteries and holder. :
Video is here:
Note: if you don’t have a Middleman board you can make one of these using a FPC connector whose pins are soldered to the battery, switches and LED’s see the schematic.
That’s pretty handy. I’m almost thinking after seeing this that it would be useful to permanently be able to see the end-stop “state” (via LED indicators such as in your video).
@donkjr I’m not using a middleman myself, but Scott’s ACR kit. I will see what Scott thinks about adding the ability in his next revisions/upgrades to the design of his ACR.
