Hi, you put a 5v zener or 12v zener? Thanks!

Thanks for the video - LJC18A3-H-Z/BX Capacitance Proximity Sensor Switch NPN NO DC 6-36V 300mA 1-10mm Normally Open Used a IN4004 diode (silver end at the signal connection (BLACK) / other side connected to earth (BLUE) and (BROWN) = 12vdc) After this setup the value from the signal pin still reads 8vdc plus (didn't fry my re-arm board pin) connected this signal output to a LM7805 to reduce to 5vdc /more safer - Have tried resistors to change voltage to 12v to 4.**v but didn't work. Keep up the good work!

Nice video. You should include a resistor in series with your zener diode (connect it to the cathode end) to allow the 12 volts supply voltage to drop 7 volts across the resistor. If you don't include a "dropping" resistor, you're forcing your circuit board to "drop" the 7 volts were ever it can. Not a good idea. The resistor also limits current through the zener, so it won't over heat. An internet search will find many examples of how to connect a zener and how to size the resistor. You don't actually require a zener. You can connect two resistors in series from your sensor output to ground. If the resistors were, say 15k and 10k with the latter connected to ground, the voltage across the 10k resistor and ground would be slightly under 5volts, which is fine. Good luck.

I miss the Instruction to Configure the Marlin Software of configursaion.h & configuration:adv.h Do you make it on any time or have you got a link to another information video of this ?? Greetings from Germany

Great video. Would this work on the CR-10S?

Is it the same for capacitive sensors?

Nice work! Do you make any change in the firmware?

cool (en français aussi ce serait cool)

You never said how high up from the nozzle the should be? Can somebody please tell me how that is determined?

hey, c'est pour un capteur inductif pas capacitif ?

Hello! I have some questions too: -Why did you use a zener diode? - what role does that diode play? - the diode is for 5 V? - I have an ALfawise U30 printer with auto-leveling integrated in the software, if I put the inductive sensor I still have to make set in g code?

Save your time 2:44

First 😁

salut, j'ai ce capteur : www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B071J6PXD1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 la référence est pas vraiment la même je dois aussi mettre la diode ? elle sert a quoi ? merci de ton aide en attendant la video FR. ++
