What is it ?

if it detect the clog or runout,it will set the output signal line to low or high voltage which tell the mother board to pause printing.

it works with the motherboard which have run out connector.

What makes it specials?

It compares the movement of extruder and filament at the same time.that means you do not need to worry about how long of the travel length and how much of the travel time in non print moves while printing
There is a micro controller on the board that read the sensor and process the algorithm instead of directly by motherboard that process this with the lowest priority and not fast enough sometimes
For it no needs to send digital signal (0-1-0…) during movement all the time with the long line beside the line of motor,so it more stable in hardware too.
This tracking system also does not require code wheel, code strip and any special marking on tracking surface.
You can change the sensitivlty,output alarm time and output signal level by serial tools or send command.
Even if there is no run out pin on the motherboard, it can also make beep alarm for your printer when it detect the filament clog or runout.
