Strain Gauge/Load Cell based Endstops

Hold the phone…


A loadcell that is 100% concentric with the filament and nozzle
An ADS131M02 ADC chip (64kSPS, 24 bit)
The other side of the board has a USB port and a STM32F072xx MCU

Currently the MCU is simply supplying a switched output VIA SPI but could Klipper firmware be flashed and attached to the printer host VIA USB as “Force_MCU”? Find the correct pin ID and read it at whatever rate you want.

ALSO the ADS131M is available on Digikey. It could probably be connected to a RP2040
