@William
Are there any instructions on how to hook the 3DTouch up to a MeCreator 2?

HI!
I installed my Sensor and modified the firmware (I hope correctly, the instructions are not very easy to understand)
Anyway...
When I power up I get the selftest 3 time movement.
When I try to send any command from Repetierhost in the G-code window it says nothing and do nothing.
Not even the alarm test works.
When I try to move Home in all axis Z says "Z probe out. bed"
In this case it doesnt matter if probe is lit or not, in or out...

@JumpBase
Thanks so much for uploading that bracket. Unfortunately I use that side for my fan. The two screw holes on the carriage fit a turbo fan perfect so I can't move the fan.
Back to the drawing board.
@William
Is there a guide or instructions that I can read to get the 3DTouch wired to my Me Creator 2?

Can someone Please post their config.h and pins.h files so I can verify correct settings?

I found an error I made...
According to the instructions here:
http://www.geeetech.com/blog/tag/3dtouc ... ng-sensor/
I connected the 3pin
BROWN -
RED -
ORANGE to the GT2560 board _ Not
BROWN,
ORANGE,
RED as it is supposed to be...
I simply assumed the 3pin was a straight connector (I used a regular RC extension)
Question: Did I ruin this port on the board when ORANGE and RED got mixed up?
Question: Can I save it by using another free 3pin connector by assigning another PIN?
Question: Did I ruin the sensor ?

Thx for the provided files configurationh and pins.h
This did not help me at all, I have the correct settings on my printer - but sensor does still not work.

Maybe the wire order is a problem,could take a picture of your wire order?

I purchased 3D touch sensor to my Prusa I3 Pro B and today I installed it to printer, but I was not able to get it working. When I power up printer, pin is mowing 3 times, but when I try to send any custom G-codes, nothing happens. What should I do / check next to get it working? All needed firmware modifications are done.
