Hi,
I am modifying my single colour printer to a two colour printer, I am fairly confident that I have found out how to configure Marlin for the two extruders.
However, I have come up against a problem that I can't find an answer to:
I would like to use two filament run out sensors, one upstream of each extruder.
I currently use one filament sensor triggering the M600 filament change routine, which parks the hot end, and allows me to change the filament, then primes the nozzle.
I believe that Marlin supports more than one sensor, but I can't seem to find detailed instructions as to how to configure it.
I know that I can connect two sensors in parallel (normally open) or series (normally closed), so that either will trigger M600. But I am not sure whether it would work as I would want it to.
What I would like, is when one of the sensors is triggered, it will stop the print and park the hot end, as it does currently, but then allows me to change the filament, and prime the nozzle using the correct extruder, i.e. the one where the filament has run out, and not the one which hasn't.
However, with two active extruders, I don't know if it will just prime using the first extruder, or if it will give me the option..?
Also, if I use two sensors on separate pins, do I need to modify the M600 routine to allow for two extruders..?
I would also be happy to prime the extruder manually if it is possible to change the M600 routine to allow for this.
I'm hoping someone can help.
I am currently using Marlin 1.1.9, but I am happy to change to 2.0 if it helps.
Thanks in anticipation...
