Today I flow-soldered a small batch of single nozzle hot end boards, and I expect to finish and test them tomorrow. So I am sending PayPal payment requests to those who I know are waiting for them.
PCBs for the dual nozzle boards were ordered last Monday, and I expect to be shipping the completed boards the week after next. I will send the PayPal requests for those nearer the time.

Have you sent the invoices out yet as I haven't got mine for the Single board and PanelDue.

Hi dc,
Sorry I'm late to the party, but do you happen to have one more available for me? a single nozzle board is adequate for now.

wow that is some fast probing Thomas,Did you modify your config file or does this come with DC's firmware and probe? i am still using my Ormerod 2 original probe and think to Change to DC's soon.Quote

Not a good video but still, it shows an Ormerod 2 probing with DC42's sensor board.

Just one question when used on a delta where would it be connected on the Duet I have the 3.3V and Ground sussed but what about the actual trigger connection's?

Exactly the same as on an Ormerod running 0.78 or later firmware. See [reprappro.com] for the Ormerod 1 wiring. At the sensor board, red goes to the pin marked +3.3V, black goes to Gnd, and blue goes to Out. You can leave the In terminal unconnected, as I can't think you will need to use the simple modulated mode.

I also have prototype PCBs for a very small version of my differential IR sensor on the way. These are intended for Delta printers and contain just the sensor - no illumination, fan control, or hot end on indication.

I'm possibly interested in one of these, do you have any drawings?

No drawings, but here is an image of the board layout. The height is 19mm and the width is 24mm. The bottom edge needs to be between 1mm and 2mm higher than the tip of the nozzle. The fixing holes near the top are 2.8mm diameter. The connections near the top will take a 3-pin Molex connector, or flying leads.

I'll publish the schematic for the delta board when it is in production. But it's similar to the sensor part of my Ormerod hot end board, which you can find at [github.com].
What is a bipolar printer?

Okay I will wait for it or maybe you could tell my what attiny it's gonna use?

Looks interesting, you appear to move the head in an arc across the platform, and rotate the platform. What firmware are you using to drive it?

You are probably doing a G28 in your start gcode, so X and Y get homed and then Z. If you were to home X and/or Y but not Z, then there would be a small height error at the end.

I see, Thank you for that info DC42. So does it mean that when ever i did 5 point leveling and do homing x/y, i also need to home z? What would happen if i did not home z( assuming i did not use G28)?

The first 4 of the new dual-nozzle boards are finished at last and ready to ship tomorrow. I have sent the payment requests for these boards. I intent to make another 9 or 10 in the next few days,for shipment on Monday.
The prototype mini board is also finished and working. I expect to complete another 2 tomorrow and will send the payment requests for them soon.
