Description:
The Strain Gauge Adapter Board is an essential part of Centauri Carbon's "contact-based" bed leveling system. Unlike inductive probes that only detect metal, this board processes signals from a strain gauge mounted on the hotend. This allows the printer to use the actual nozzle tip as a probe to physically touch the build plate.
The board amplifies the minute electrical changes (micro-volts) produced by the strain gauge when the nozzle makes contact with the bed and converts them into a digital signal the motherboard can understand. This ensures a perfect "Z-offset" and first layer every time, regardless of whether you are using a PEI sheet, glass, or a textured plate.
Features:
Precision Leveling: Enables high-resolution bed mesh mapping by using the nozzle as the physical probe, eliminating the need for manual offset adjustments.
Signal Amplification: Features an onboard high-precision amplifier to filter out mechanical noise and electrical interference for accurate readings.
Plug-and-Play Connectors: Equipped with specific JST-style headers for direct connection to the toolhead breakout board and the strain gauge sensor.
Ultra-Compact Design: Tailored to fit within the tight confines of the Centauri Carbon’s lightweight print head assembly.
Industrial Durability: Constructed with high-temperature resistant PCB materials to withstand the heat radiating from the nearby hotend.
