Also curious about this on Duet. Anybody know?

I don't have the accelerometer board yet but it should just work from what I've seen and read. Looking at the Configuration.h it simply interfaces to a single pin and looks like an endstop port and gives a simple binary on/off signal like a simple mechanical switch.

My understanding is that it uses an I2C interface...

I would think that would require some significant changes to repetier firmware to support? I looked at the repetier sources quickly and did not see anything out of the ordinary. This is where the pin is defined in Configuration.h:
I've never quit figured out how repetier firmware maps to pins defined at http://reprap.org/wiki/Rambo_development (and it has been several years since I've used a RAMBo).
Hey - you have a V3! Where does it plug into RAMBo and how many pins does it use?
Code: Select all
/* #################### Z-Probe configuration and Settings #####################
These will change machine to machine, be sure to have the correct machine selected in the top of this config file
*/
// 301 = RAMBO 302 = MINI_RAMBO
#if MOTHERBOARD == 301
#define Z_PROBE_PIN 4
#elif MOTHERBOARD == 302
#define Z_PROBE_PIN 16
#endifHey - you have a V3! Where does it plug into RAMBo and how many pins does it use?

Yup, I2C http://seemecnc.dozuki.com/Guide/Step+4 ... ssembly/44
I looked at the sources again and still did not find anything special to support the probe.

Show off. 
What do you know about the code to support the probe?

Okay, well at least it's possible since smoothie has an I2C header. Hopefully the coding is something simple.

I don't know anything about it. I think the next most knowledgeable guy is Kraegar....or bug Guanu.
