I am currently building my first own Prusa I3. I have chosen the GT2560 board because my boss had a 3D printer at work which I had to maintain from time to time so I am a little bit more familiar with this board.
After some issues with getting my stepper motors to move I now have come to the part where I would need to change the firmware to work with optical endstops for the X&Y axis [www.reprapsource.com] and a LJ12A3-4-Z PNP NO 4 mm proximity sensor for the Z axis to auto level. Also: has anybody else noticed that you have to turn knob of the LCD2004(+SD) in the wrong way (clockwise) to go down in the menu?
The opto endstops seem to work as the led reacts when the sensor is triggered but it seems that the auto level sensor doesn't response to any metallic surface beneath it with its led; I would need to look into it.
What would I need to change in the configuration file to make the firmware able to work with opto endstops and a proximity sensor?
