Hictop Controller Pinout

I have a controller from Hictop MPK V1.

I do not have a complete board Connector Pin-out.

Please supply me any information you may have regarding connector labeled with an " H6 ".





More information they replaced the FT232RL - FTDI with an ATmega 16U2 High Speed USB controller this is where H6 connects.
Thank You

H6 sounds like it is a standard ICSP header, but for programming the ATmega 16U2, just like a standard real mega2560 controller with 16U2 has two ICSP ports

Oh!!! Of course forgot that the ATmega 16U2 can be programmed.

Thank you

Then I am finished with the Hictop controller Pin-out Mapping.

The pin-out mapping is very similar to the Base v1.3 an MPX.3 they do not have a H6 connector

You may note : two ICSP ports on controller. H6 is a standard ICSP header, but for programming the ATmega 16U2



This will give the Hictop users a more detailed look at our controllers pin-out.
Older Hictop controllers have basically the same pin-out the connectors have only been re-arranged.

For completeness you might want to add the step/direction/enable pins for all steppers. Even though they arent broken out as far as I can tell.

Well I would really like to have step/direction/enable pins.
Though this controller does not have any pins that control the step/direction/enable.



I only created this pin mapping because Hictop Users have asked many times for a Pin diagram, include myself.
Have been trying to configure the BL-Touch for use with my Hictop 3D Printer, an without knowing the pin layout it makes any firmware changes difficult.

Our newer versions of firmware have many advanced features that would be nice to incorporate into my three Hictop 3D Printers.
