Just placed my order. Very excited. Is the piezo somehow integrated into the pcb? or do we sandwich one in between the bolt and heatsink?
Do you have an stl for those carriages, or are they included with an order (The plastic parts, not the pcb)

A strain gauge isn't usually an IC, it's typically a metal foil mounted on a substrate. We have 3 ICs on the effector to manage it: a voltage regulator to provide a clean power source, an amplifier to increase the signal, and a microcontroller to process the data.

ah. I'm curious about it, where is it on the pcb? Could you take a pic

Picture of what exactly? if you mean the strain gauges then they are actually designed into the PCB Traces so not much to be seen on a photo (They can be seen as very fine traces in the copper by eye but they don't show up well on photos)

Oh, ok. I didn't know they were printed on, that's pretty neat... does it detect change in capacitance?

I am finding the smart effector works very well with Traxxas arms, if you don't want to go for magnetic arms immediately. I put my attempt at mounting posts on thingiverse (2492092). Getting very flat mesh calibration and accurately sized prints. The probe works wonderfully well.

Are there any other sources in Europe for Haydns mag-arms? It seems David is sold out on 360mm rods?
Will you get some stock anytime soon?

There are 6 of them in total and they detect very minute flexing of the PCB when the nozzle touches the bed I am getting sub 7 micron deviation on a autocal usually it is more often around 3-5 microns.
They work extremely well. and they are well worth the cost of £45 plus carriage and tax's were applicable, especially when you consider that they include the custom E3D Heatsink assembly.

How are they arranged ? 6 ? What bridge?

That I can't answer but the arrangement of them is 3 on each surface of the PCB at 120 Degrees apart and are actually part of the PCB Itself coupled with I believe a Rectifier/PSU chip and Amplifier and a CPU of some sort to actually hold the software that does the comparisons you would need to ask DC42 for the finer details or wait for the files to be released on Github if they haven't already
