Topic: Da Vinci 1.0a Filament Sensor to Pause Print

I just picked this up a few days ago to go with my Original Prusa i3 MK2 for mainly ABS. As soon as i got it home I flash it to Repetier and hooked it up to Octoprint. Works like a champ for the $120 I paid for it. I do however have one gripe.

I have been searching and cant really find a good answer aside from adding a separate sensor in to do this with Octoprint. If not that is fine as I have some spare sensors from when I added it to my other printer but would like to use the built in one if possible since it will alleviate more stuff to deal with and I dont/wont be printing anything transparent really.

Is there a way to utilize the existing sensor to pause the print for a reload and them resume?

Thanks,
