Hello All,

I have a new board, the board can run RAMPS 1.4.
The board have 6 connectors for the sensors...
X - and X+, Y- and Y+, Z- and Y+
But i dont know how I can connect the 3 wires from the sensor to the board.
I have 3 sensors in the printer. but on the board I have 6 connections.
How can I connect the 3 sensors with the board?

Thank you all.

I am assuming it is a 3D-printer you are trying to run with that board but what type of sensors is it, I'm guessing endstops, but then what type of printer is it (need to know if they should be attached as max or min)?

Yes a 3D printer. yes endstops. I make the printer by myself. It is not a pursa or something like that . I create it by myself.
It be attached as min.

Thank you,

You are going to need a plug for the wires, normally red is voltage, black ground and the other color the signal wire. You can use Dupont connectors for this if you want/have them. They work but don't lock in as well as I would like. Since you're connect all stops as min - you should wire them in as such, X in second plug from the left, Y in the fourth plug from the left and Z the 6th plug - according to connectoren3 picture. You don't need to concern yourself with using all six plugs unless you have six end stops which I don't believe you have. Hope this helps.
