MKS SGEN_L V2.0 is powerful 32-bit 3D printer control board. The CPU is LPC1769 120MHZ, SGEN_L V2 hardware Integrated 4KB EEPROM, 5AXIS and dual Z interface, has 2 way FANs and Dc12/24V out interface, support TMC UART and SPI mode...
I received my MKS SGEN_L v2.0 the other day. I am trying to configure the two components to work together. Both pieces say to use pin P1_24, and to connect both devices to the same socket on the mainboard. The videos do not directly mention the v2.0 motherboard, nor do they show having both devices working on the same board at the same time for any of their boards.
I am not large on knowledge, but, in my simple way of looking at it, what is to stop me from using the Z- Endstop connector for the FES, using pin P1_24, and setup the way it shows in the video(except the part that leads you to the wrong file, but use the 1769 version of the pins file). Then go follow the 3Dtouch video, and again recognize the different names for headers, and connect the two wire connector to the Z+ Endstop connector and use pin P1_25 where it says to set it to P1_24. Would that work, or am I missing a lot of other changes that would need to be done?
The instructions on WIKI for 3Dtouch are somewhat confusing at the end. It says:
3D Touch replace z-axis endstop
According to the "3D Touch replace z-axis endstop" requirements Connect motherboard
To me this says basically after you get it working, rebuild the firmware again after making those 3 changes, then install and reboot. Is that what it means? Can't see how that would even be required.
The online videos are great to have, but, trying to follow the order it is presented in does not work. How is he managing to get it to work BEFORE he made changes to configuration files?
