Filament detector doesn't seem to act properly
Never mind.. It went about 15mm further this time. But Ive done 5 other single item prints today with no issues. Some much taller than lis invisible limit

Filament detector doesn't seem to act properly
Ya, I test it out. Im not understanding how RR is managing essentially the same functionality with 1/5 the lines of configuration. But... thats why Im not a programmer!
Ive ran into another strant issue that I cant wrap my head around. A new WTF! I've now had 5 failed prints, after absolute perfection for over a week. Every time its an MCU communication failure at the TB. Ive completely disassembled the top half of the TB now 4 times, replaced the USB cable, and tried 2 different prints. The REAL shitter is that they all happen within .2mm of each other. So ya.... its a time thing, and I already eliminated that its something to do with a strange flakey slice. Except last night I printed for over an hour with no filament.... because the sensor doesnt work and I cant see well. When I realize it I shoved in the filament and let it print till I got a clean flow, and restarted. So almost zero downtime! Maybe 5-7 seconds. Yet .16mm of a difference in failed part thickness

I THINK I have another sensor being delivered on monday with my IDEX kit. So prior to breaking shit down to add that, Ill test the new sensor against the results above and report back again.

Thats every combination possible and the core results from the same tests to all options. It seems to me multiple calls are going out with inverted calls. Im not smart enough to break down your printer.cfg additions, but its kinda clear when the sensor is triggering, at time, extruder action. But its triggered backwards, but stock RR macros for load/unload and extrude/retract. and printing, all work fine. That too kinda explains the wrong seignal being sent to Klipper about filament status.... its showing the reverse of whats expected.39 replies

So while running the default sensor config, unchanged...
Klipper shows detected when a red ring.
Inserting filament I get a green ring and nozzle heat. But the extruder is going backwards, as if ejecting. And Klipper still shows detected
