Add Beacon Contact

[pireybr]

Describe the feature or hardware support you'd like

I tried to add beacon contact to klippain but failed. Implementing it will be nice

Additional context or information

https://docs.beacon3d.com/contact/

To add additional detail, Beacon Contact adds their ownsafe_z_home function that does not like homing_override.

See:

• https://docs.beacon3d.com/contact/#52-configuration
• https://docs.beacon3d.com/contact/#82-homing-override

If homing_override is defined, it causes an error on Klipper startup.

To work around the problem, I removed macros/base/homing/homing_override.cfg, but this obviously makes the local clone dirty.

No automatic updates for me. 😞

is there any update or branch with beacon contact yet?

There’s feedback on my PR, I just haven’t gotten around to making the requested changes yet.

I haven’t forgotten, I’ve just been very busy, and it’s probably going to be another couple weeks before I have any cycles to spare.

I read that feedback, would it help if I jumped in implementing the requested changes?

By all means.
