I have a Voron 2.4 witch I modet with a toolchanger setup.
Now.. How the title says, im looking for a solution for having the x endstop for each toolhead. There are some posibilities, like using sensorless, or some strange levers that would interact whit a switch mounted near the y switch somewhere the right gantry motor mount…
What I want is to use the x-endstop pin on each toolboard. From what I searched on the internet klipper does not allow multiple endstop pins for a stepper.
Here comes a user named “kensand”(i dont know if its active here…) on github, in a post for using multiple pins for a stepper, with a modified version of the klipper “multi-pin.py” that lets you use multiple pins for a stepper trogh a [multi_pin xendstop] section…
Here is the file:
multi_pin.zip (1.1 KB)
and here is the link: Feature Request - Handling multiple X Endstops, one on each tool · Issue #35 · viesturz/klipper-toolchanger · GitHub
Now…(again), I tryed it and it, kinda, works… I repalced the original multi-pin.py(after I made a back-up) whit the modified one. It works, but whit a delay between the triggering of the endstop and the actual stoping of the movement of the toolhead big enough to crash the toolhead on the end of the travel, end klipper sending an error. My question is: is this a limitation of the multi-pin function in klipper, because its intendet for use whit non priority “things”, like fans and heathers(i dont know what else), or the modified multi-pin file is not, how do I put this, in its best form? Can it be improoved to work how I espected to work, to stop the movement instant on triggering of the endstop?
I hope I dont upset annybody with my questions…
Im asking this because I can see the code in that file, I see the words, letters, numbers, but all I understand is… not much(much close to nothing…)
