BD sensor on IDEX printer #174

Hello and good day, I would like to use BDSensor with an IDEX printer. The printer has 2 independent Z-axes with their own end stop switch. Do I need a BD sensor for each extruder or is one on extruder 1 enough? Do other parameters need to be set in the [BDSensor] section in the printer.cfg file? Or, in my case, for [stepper_z] or [stepper_z1]. I couldn't find any information about BD sensors and IDEX printers, so I'm asking my questions here. Thank you in advance for your help.

interesting, I also want to add it into the idex printer. I think the best way is to add a bdsensor on each of the extruder. one for homing/mesh bed level and another one works as a distance sensor. but there need to add some macro and python code for the klipper.

Will you provide code in the near future?
