Filament Thickness Measurement

Hi,
at the reprap forum we are discussing options to measure the thickness of the filament and feed that into the control of the filament driver stepper motor. To do this on the K8200 we need some information about the board and the firmware.

Is there a schematic for the board available? And is the firmware open to get altered?

Kind regards
Matthias

As the K8200 is closely related to the 3Drag, check this:
