Hi!
I ordered 6pcs of geeetech mechanical end stops v1.2 and cant figure out how to connect them... the old ones are 2pin on gt2560 board and the new ones are 4pin old cd-rom contacts. How do i solder the wires? Schematics?
Thanks

Hi again
Doesnt work... Tried too reverse them also, but in both cases i can move the bed away from the end stop but when i try to move them against the end stop it wont move. Any other ideas?

Hi,my friend
I just asked our engineer,and he said the endstop is not compatible with the GT2560 board.I'm afraid you have to replace with old ones.

Hi again!
Thank you for the info but it sucks that you dont post that info on your homepage about the end stops and what compability they got... Now i got 6 of them and cant do anything with them... Wanted them because ive had so much trouble with the original ones... Works as they want to themselves... One time everything works fine and the other time they wont work at all... On top of that it seems that one of my original ones are broken now... Cant get the bed to work at all, only goes away from the end stop when i hit home :S
Why cant you sell a better version and/or replacement on your homepage?
Thanks
