Qidi x-max / x-plus filament runout sensor

[tron]

I updated an existing OctoPrint filament sensor plug-in to support QiDi X-Plus and X-Max. The updated plug-in will pause the printer and cool down the extruder to wait for you replace the filament.

I’m using this plugin with a raspberrypi running OctoPrint connected to the UART on the QiDi X-Plus’s motherboard. The filament sensor that I’m using is a TriangleLab Filament Runout Sensor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHD8WHF...p_mob_ap_share

You should be able to use other filament sensors as long as they can be connected to the GPIO pins on a raspberrypi.

I have a new X-Plus3. It has a filament runout sensor. It didn't stop my printer. Is there something I need to do to enable it or is this a problem with my printer. I've got a note in to tech support but haven't heard back yet.

I have a Qidi XC-F pro and you can turn the filament sensor off or on in the settings screen, assume yours will have something similar.
