The voltage supposed to be ~5V/~0.2V with stock optical endstop on/off, I got ~3.3V/0.1V instead without remove the pull-up and current limiting resistor. It still works well since 3.3V still considered high voltage. I think just replace the Ir LED and optical-transistor from the new endstop with solder iron to replace the old one is a better choice. It is technical challenging, but it is not expensive and risk of get anything burned is low. Worth to try when out of choices.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>hi i have a xyz 1.0AIO <br />the courier who delivered my printer has damaged it, I have a broken sensor on the y axis does anyone know where I can get one it has SG 5X1 marked on it but I cant find one anywhere?<br />I have switched the one from the x axis but then obv the x axis fails I need a new one.<span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?Jy3jQw2.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?Jy3jQw2.jpg" /></span></p>]]></description>
