installing Trianglelab filament sensor FB

Hello I'm having some issues trying to get a filament runout sensor working on my duet 2 wifi with RR3.2. I've added the following line into my config.g as it should be a 2=simple sensor (low signal when filament present) but as soon as my start.g finishes running I get a pop up on the DWC that the print has paused because of no filament.
M591 D0 P2 C"e0_stop" S1 ; filament monitor connected to E0 endstopSo I then tried a P1 But that trips the filament sensor before the Start.g even runs or at least at the very same time.
M591 D0 P1 C"e0_stop" S1 ; filament monitor connected to E0 endstopI'm pretty sure the wiring is correct and when I tested the switch with a piece of filament I see that the E0 stop light on the board is funcitoning when I add or remove filament. When the filament is in the switch the E0 light is illuminated, when I remove the filament it is off. I have also tried the C"e0stop" as well as C"e0_stop" as I have seen documentation for both but there is not change in functionality.
Here is my Config.g

If it's like the two I bought there is a 4.7K resistor inside (a tiny surface mount device) that pulls the signal low.
This is too large a value for the Duet. The "low" state is too high for the Duet's input to be read as a low.
Connect a 1K resistor from the signal to ground.
I did mine inside on the back of one of the connectors but you could do it a number of others ways.
If you have the tools you could remove the existing surface mount resistor and replace it with a 1K device.
There are two connectors on the sensor. If you had the matching connector you could put the 1K resistor on the connector and attach it to the sensor.
Good luck.

Oddly, I changed the port to use the E1stop and also moved the D0 to the end of the line and it works properly now.
So is there an issue with the board, or is there a resistor issue as stated by @fcwilt .

Yeah there must be an issue with the board I have because connected to e1stop, the filament sensor works fine. What the heck.
-
E0_STOP and E1_STOP do have a different set of doodads connected to them, so that might make the difference.

M591 P2 C"e1stop" S1 D0 ; filament monitor connected to E0 endstopIt's possible that your units have a different resistor than mine - I thought 4.7K was rather large.
If you have a way to measure resistor values you can measure from the signal pin to the ground pin - first disconnect it from your Duet.
Mine is connected to e1stop as well and it did not work reliably until I added the 1K resistor.

@alankilian But The LED beside the stepper motor jack lights up for either of the E0 or the E1 stops, so even if they are different internally, both still seem to recognize the signal at least via the hardware. it is very strange I think. Thanks though.

Mine did too but I noticed that it was not as brightly lit as other LEDs.
I measured the voltage levels for "on" and "off" states and found they did not meet the required logic levels for "on" and "off".
The LED is directly affected by the voltage on the input and it can be lit even with voltages that do not meet logic requirements.

@fcwilt That is good to know. I will grab a meter and check that voltage level of that switch.
