Encoder is difficult to fine tune and sometimes unreliable

[mneuhaus]

• replace tcrt5000 sensor PCB with a custom EE-SX1103 based PCB
• add a "brake" to prevent the gear to continue spinning when the filament is ejected quickly
• flare the return path for the filament to guide "kinked" ends of outrunning filament for endless spool mode

Current progress:

• ERCF Binky PCB v1.0 designed and first batch of 10 ordered (https://a360.co/3EyLsSb)
• Started to create a new version of the modified encoder that will use the new Binky PCB

PCBs arrived, sadly faulty (my fault) debugging right now

Second iteration of PCBs are on their way, herer are the current Files for the PCB and matching STL:

• ERCF Binky - PCB v113_bom.csv
• ERCF Binky - PCB v113_cpl.csv
  
• ERCF Binky - PCB v115_2023-03-13.zip
• EncoderCart - Binky v121.stl.zip

Second batch of PCBs arrived, sadly one last issue spotted, which can be "fixed" by flipping the Sensor to the other side of the board because 2 pins are mixed up on the board.

v145 pushed to git, 9 beta PCBs on their route to the beta testers :)
