Hi,
I'm testing the Gen7_Endstop_1.3.1 on a breadboard. And I can't make it works fine.
I link the output signal of the endstop to an input belonging to an arduino UNO Board and I plug an external LED+resistor to an other arduino's output.
I use this little arduino code for polling and repeating the signal of the endstop to the external LED :
The endstop detects obstacle but the LED belonging to the endstop barely light up as there is only 200 uA through it. My external led don't light.
But if I unplug R3, making the endstop's led useless, the arduino detect perfectly the two state (with/without obstacle) and so my external led works fine.
I guess the endstop circuit design works fine so I don't know what I did wrong.(I use the 5 V alimentation of my arduino board as in gen7 the endstops are alimented by 5V also).
So if you can help me with that thanks ; )
