Stealthburner Filament Entry Sensor Switch for Box Turtle [Solved]

[last fiber]

I have SB2209 (RP2040) Board, Do I install the sensor switch in the GPIO6 port with the jumper in the IND position?
The GPIO24 port is in use at the moment for X axis switch

I have done the same setup. Set fan-ind jumper to ind and jump the NPN connector. Then used gpio6

At first I didn’t jump the npn and it would not work.

Thanks...In the GPIO6 I will use the GND & GPIO6 terminal or VIN & GPIO6 terminal??

[marsh tide]

Gnd and GPIO6 for a standard switch but make sure you put a jumper on the npn jumper.

Yes thank you

[marsh tide]

let me know how you go. two jumper required, they are freaking tiny, and mine are gone, i used small blob of solder to jump the IND and NPN jumpers.

careful with the heat on the pins if you solder they are very fine pins

Thanks i will let you know

define pin
[AFC_extruder extruder] pin_tool_start: EBBCan:gpio6
my toolhead is called EBBCan so in AFC_Hardware.cfg i assigned this..

One more thing, i connect the wires on the outer terminal of the filament switch?

[quick jacinth]

Yes

Thanks

And use the 5.5mm ball. It mattered :)

I got it up and running thanks, I make the inital check for the sensor detection and all is working good... Question, were did you mount the Turtle Neck? Just to get and idea were to mount mine, I am still figuring out were to munt it
another question does the Board fan is very loud by default? mine is very loud

[marsh tide]

Board fan is crazy loud. I disconnected as not needed in my temps.

[errant hinge]

yep

[marsh tide]

sorry for the potato pictures, i have it strapped to the back of BT, with a very gentle curve in the tube, that then runs up to a bypass switch so i can load filament from the cooker

[last fiber]

yeah the fan noise is annoying
I was thinking about installing the turtle neck in that same frame location but I wasnt sure about that PTFE tube bending from the hub to the TN

[marsh tide]

can heat it up a bit to ease the bend,

[last fiber]

good idea... thanks

i did extend the buffer cables considerably so the turtleneck could be almost anywhere in te filament path. i did try to keep it all short though
