A10 auto level sensor

[gdachs]

The A10 has no extra connectors to connect the sensor at the hotend/extruder... you connect it to the Z endstop on the mainboard directly as I know.

That is not generally true. My new A10 that I got as replacement for my broken one has this connectors.

Further there a 3 methods to connect it to the Z endstop:
1. directly connect the sensor (not recommended - voltage to low with 5V for the sensor. The sensor is about 6-36V.)
2. use an octocoupler (safest but more tricky - use 24V with the sensor, separated 5V from the mainboard for the signal)
3. use a voltage devider (easy and cheap - use 24V with the sensor and devide the voltage to 5V for the signal)

4. using a diode, no calculations necessary.

Here is my mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3146974

My new A10 has a mount builtin.

As long as we don't know which version of the A10 he has it is difficult to give the right answer.

No, it is not an A10M, it has no dual filament support. Yes, it is another printer, but still named A10.

In this video another guy is explaining it.
Stop getting on my nerves, please.

The other thread was closed too fast. Here are the schematics for the GT2560 Rev. B you was looking for, and here the schematics for the GT2560 Rev. 3.0 that is used in my new A10.
Why do you get impolite if someone is not ready to do your work? I had the idea that if I can find it, you should be able to do the same.

Didn't know that there are different versions with the same name. I know better now. Thanks!
I do not want to annoy anyone... Sorry for that.

As I know (now)...

there are 3 versions of A10 out there. Depending on the GT2560 board version.

Versions of A10:
1. Rev A (1.0)
2. Rev b (2.0)
3. Rev v3.0

A10M is the multicolor version.
The hotend mount looks different too at each version. There are versions with and without preinstalled BL-Touch-Mount...
Some connectors are different too. For example: The Rev 3.0 has BL-Touch connector pins onboard.

etc.

All versions just sold by the name "A10"... but there are big differences.
Watch out! Take care that you find the right mod instructions for your version of the A10.

Geeetech A10 use the GT2560 REVB for the first version.
Geeetech A10 use the GT2560 V3 for the second version.

Hello I have an A10 with GT2560 rev.3 board and also have the BL touch mount.
Where can I connect the touch sensor? Can I connect to the hotend or the control board ?

Here is a picture of correct wireing:

Have fun!

So...i have rev.b of first versione of a10.
Are you sure if i follow the image i have 3d touch work?
Thanks

[zonalimitatore]

I try to wire like in photo above.
When start the printer,the 3d touch do up&down 2 times ,and stay up with red led on.

The problem is:
I have no control on it
In the menu if i click autotest,no moves,and the same on other commands

I try to do z home,but doesn't stop,and signed my bed

It's my problem or anyone have solve it?

[zonalimitatore]

did you add g29 to your slicer to do auto bed levelling?

Yes,but I have no control on LCD menu,and I cannot do a Z home,cause don't detect when probe touch the bed,and continue fall down
