I'm gonna have to figure out how the inducive switch on my 3D-printer works, so I can wire it up to my new controller board....
that sounds easy, until you realize there are no markings indicating what kind of switch it is exactly.... and I don't know all that much about electronics let alone inductive switches.
@noiob I know how it was wired up before, but there must have been some magic smoke which escaped at some point, and a lot of the wireing was questionable, so I don't really wanna replicate the previous mess lol
@noiob For now I'll just hope the sensor will work with 5V, and I'll just hook it up right to the ramps board. That shouldn't be able to break anything.
@noiob And if that doesn't work I'll try fucking around with powering it of the 24V psu, and using a voltage divider to not fry the atmega
@la it probably works just like a normal switch, just gotta check if it's normally-open or -closed
@noiob most of the ones I found online have a speced input voltage range of 6-36V. And the Ramps board should supply 5V to the switches, If I understood i right.
@la 5 is almost 6… right
@noiob It might work anyhow, and that's how I wired it for now, but I'm pretty sure it's not "correct"
@la I mean if it works
@noiob like an endstop
