BLTouch wiring

[codedmind]

Hello, can you explain the bltouch wiring... i'm using until now the servos and the z-index to using the bltouch but you refer to use servo and probe?

I'm using this https://camo.githubusercontent.com/56b380ce77969d6bf7e4d627094676b2625dc876/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f42524a516e65392e6a7067

I'm not sure what to explain. My README is fairly clear. Just connect the BLTouch to the PROBE header as opposed to the Z-STOP. SERVO remains unchanged, same in both cases.

If you have a clear defined question, I'd be happy to answer though...

@pmjdebruijn sorry if i'm not able to explain... the wiring you say in the readme is like the picture i share? In the pic the five pins from bltouch go like this 3 pins go to the servo and 2 pins to the z-plug but you refer

Your readme refers to servo and probe.... is your "probe" the zplug or is other pins in the board?

My README explicitly states the Z-STOP is ignored. So I'm not sure why you're confused about this.

Directly next to the SERVO header, there is a header clearly labeled as PROBE, as is referred to by my README.

As for the exact wiring, that highly depends on where you got your BLtouch from, cross-reference the SKR mini E3 board documentation with the pin labels on your BLtouch.

@pmjdebruijn ok thanks for clarify that. Like i said i see that wiring scheme that is the same as the teaching tech if i'm not wrong, and used it that way (using the z-stop) so apparently the bltouch could be wiring in two different ways :/

[pmjdebruijn]

Indeed.

The PROBE header is specifically intended for the BLTouch, but all boards have this luxury.

Connecting the BLTouch to the Z-STOP is essentially a workaround for cost-reduced boards (like the Creality Melzi) that do not have a dedicated connector for it.

I've left the original Z-STOP micro switch connected, so I can flash back to a non-bltouch firmware at any point, and the Z-STOP micro switch will just work again as normal, without having to do any rewiring.

maar de draden zijn anders van kleur is origineel zeg maar moet ik hier ook de draden omwisselen

As I've already mentioned above, you should cross reference the markings on your BLTouch PCB with the documentation of your specific board.
