I have been looking at adding a filament sensor to my Printrbot Simple Metal. I think I have everything worked out and will be back porting the current FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR logic to the older branch Printrbot uses. However, I noticed that the check of the filament sensor only occurs if printing from the SD card. What I was thinking of doing was to add two new code, M601 and M602, to enable/disable the filament sensor. So if not printing from the SD card, you can put M601 in your startup code to enable the sensor and then a M602 in the end code. These two commands could also be instead be name start/end printing so any other code you only want to run when printing could know if a print job is running or not.
This would be a change to be added after the next version is released. It might be a bit before I would be ready to add it into, if there is interest in it. If not, I'll just use it in my own version for now.
