Hey guys,
It seems that the new Anet A6s have two mount screw holes in front for the other auto-level sensor. As such, I made this mount to allow the 3d BLTouch that I purchased to use the mount.
Steps:
1. Install 3d BL Touch with mount provided
2. Create the wiring harness.
I purchased 2.54mm Dupont Connector Kit, a JST-XHP connector kit, and a Dupont Crimp tool for the job. I'll post some pictures of the final product later.
3. Strip pin 3 on the LCD connector and add a pin to it. This is for the LCD with the 5 buttons on the right (Zonestar LCD) only. See attached pic. Other LCDs use different pins. Check out the documentation in pins_ANET_10.h)
4. Connect it all up. Note that I didn't Y the two grounds together, but instead used a GND pin (pin 8) on the free/open LCD connector on the mainboard.
5. Reload Marlin with the following settings.
