I just bought an Orbiter Filament Sensor (v2.2) and want to connect it to my MKS ROBIN E3D. What pins can I use?

These are the instructions extracted from the Orbiter website. My board has the filament sensor pins, but I have no clue where could I connect the filament unload signal…

Connect the FS (Filament sensor signal) pin and the FU (Filament unload signal) to spare digital inputs of your main board. Best is to use pins from spare pin headers or unused expander board connections. Supply the sensor board with +3.3V and GND. 

It is not recommended the use inputs with pull up resistor to 5V like end stop inputs. If these are the only spare inputs you have you may use them but in this case supply the sensor board also with 5V!

Looks like MKS hardware is abandoned... No response from the support in months... This is my second post without any comments from the manufacturer/support guys...
