fried inductive probe pins octopus v1.1
Hello
I accidentally shorted the pins that are for super pinda with a screw driver while tightening the mounting screw. I saw an arc and now it reports as the probe is triggered even if there is nothing connected to the pins. I probably fried something, right? Anyways, is there a way to use some other pins and change something in .cnf files and get the probe to work again?

Yes you did, and yes you can use an endstop port. Just replace
probe_pin
in your printer.cfg with the name of the pin you connect it to. Refer to your boards pinout diagram.Alright, that seems pretty straightforward. Thank you very much!
Quick question. Super pinda uses 5v but the endstops use 3.3 volts
I can use the 5v power from fan headers, no problem. Where do i connect the ground?

A or B
?
Alright, thanks
yes they are 5v tolerant.
So i plug the the ground to the endstop terminal and not the fan one
signal and gnd go to the endstop pins. 5V you get anywhere else.
Alright thank you. The 5v fan terminal positive side is always armed and the negative side has switch, right? Or do i need to enable the 5v fan terminal in cnf file
?
yes the + is always connected to a power rail (unless you pull off the jumper)
Oh that seems logical.
hello, it still says the probe is triggered. So i unpluged it and it still says that the probe is triggered. I guess i did not change the right thing in the cnf file. i will add the cnf file here. did i change out the right thing?
i changed the probe_pin to PG10
So your probe's signal pin (the black one if SuperPinda) is connected to this pin (red square)?

It's supposed to say triggered when unplugged (that way your printer won't crash if your probe dies).
If you're still having problems, please post a picture of your wiring and tell me specifically what probe you're using.
So here is my wiring. Is this correct?
