History

As with any maintained piece of technology, there have been improvements over time. Surprisingly few changes, the design works and works and works …

Latest Version, v1.3.1

Latest and most recommended version is Gen7 Endstop v1.3.1.

Changes from v1.3: none, but Generation 7 Electronics got a new version number due to changes, so the endstop got one, too. Version numbering of board and endstop is independent since then.
