        <title>Capactivie sensor suddenly stop being recognized by ramps/arduino</title>
        <description> Hello,
I just added a capacitive sensor and i use resistor to divide the voltage of hte output signal
Then i wired the signal to my ramps and i tested the voltage to check if it was correct, the output voltage was 3.85V which is ok for a ramps/arduino.
So i dicided to configure the firmware, but during the configuration it looks like that my ramps or my arduino broken, now it always show the Z endstop open.
I checked voltage of capacitor and it&#039;s still working.
Also it&#039;s the second time the issue appear, so i would like to know what am i doing wrong ?

Regards,
Toggy

EDIT i disabled the endstop pullup</description>
