Auto Leveling Module Installation

Post by foo72 »

I have an A30 version 2.0. I have a 3D-Touch auto-leveling sensor and need to install it on the A30. The sensors itself has 2 connectors, 1 x 2-wire connector and 1 x 3-wire connector. Does anyone know how to connect the sensor? Where do the connections go on the printer?

Thanks!

Here is a video of A30 auto leveling for the earlier version of A30:

But if your A30 is a new version, it supports auto-leveling with an NPN capacitive proximity sensor:

The videos do not show how to connect the cables correctly

It's quite simple just like what it shows in the video.
The picture is not that good quality, but you can still see how it was connected.
And again, it's different between the old version of A30 and the new one.

I have the new version. In none of the 2 photos do I appreciate how I connect the cables. I send photo of the connector of my printer and the cables of my autolevel.
Thank you for your time.

So I think it uses NPN capacitive proximity sensor to achieve auto leveling...which is 3 pins connector.
