Filament Run-out Sensor

Has anyone made a filament run-out sensor for the V4? I figured it may have one built in but testing revealed that this was not the case. I figured i would ask before I start designing one.

So I went ahead and bought two to the Filament Runout Sensors from SeeMeCNC. Followed the instructions, went through the pain of routing the new wires through the extrusions to keep it clean. Created the trigger2.g file and edited the config.g file.

Tested by simulating and cutting the filament and nothing happens. I can hear the sensor mechanically trip but nothing is happening on the software side to trigger the pause command.

Is there any easy way to test and see if the printer "sees" the sensors or it's configured properly?

The spartan instructions didn't specify which sensor went in which spot on the duet board. If I switched them would this potentially solve the problem? I figured I'd ask before I go through the trouble of taking the printer a part again.



Thanks

I'm not familiar with how the sensor is configured, so you might want to email support directly.
