@fcwilt that is interesting fact that i didnt know about thank you for the heads up on that ... for me the duet2 with wifi will still do the job this printer is just something to have fun with...

@lo-fi so here is the bltouch it was equipped with so the 3 wire connector is the one that you recommended to put into a 8 pin Dupont and of course making sire i have the correct voltage determined before this.. then the 2 wire one goes to the 4 pin molex with z probe in and ground

i am rebuilding a geeetech I3 and i am of course going to be using a duet2 wifi unit for this build and i noticed that it has a BL touch... it has a connector that is with 2 wires and then a 3 wire connector... my question is where does it plug in on the board for it to work correctly, im not in the mood to be shorting out a board ...lol

@phaedrux polarity was correct i have it marked as per the diagrams that matterhackers offers so electricity should of gone through the right way

@phaedrux i have been looking over the board and replaced the fuses and swapped out memory card and checked the board for over temps.. got it to fire up but now i get error short to ground on all X Y Z axis connections... and like i have mentioned before i have tested the motors and they are all good.. so i get signs of life but something is fried i just don't know how

@phaedrux so update on the ethernet board one.. checked the fuses and any physical damage and nothing is damaged that i can see.. ran a multi meter on the fuses and they check out....

@phaedrux checked the fuses they all check out, all visual inspections check out

@phaedrux.. that is the thing when i plug in the USB board with the factory provided cable i get no lights no Signs Of Life... i took it out of the 3d printer so no PSU no other connection to the board...bossa software doesn't even pick up the com port that its plugged into.

@phaedrux great minds think alike .. went through the process and the ethernet based board showed no signs of life... bossa was downloaded and it didnt auto detect the board or anything..

wifi board was purchased through matterhackers here in the US on december 24th 2021 late in the night arrived on december 31st 2021

pardon my camera skills they are horrible
