Wrathernaut,
Thanks for the quick reply to this. I want to be super excited about your reply but I do not understand it well enough 
. I guess I need to know what “expansion headers” are, and where they are.
ZMAX pins? On the control board?
I probably should have been more detailed about my experience with configuring/building marlin. I used Visual Studio for upgrading my Ender 5 but followed a video by E3D for that and was able to do it, not that I fully understood what I was doing, but it worked.
This isn’t your issue, so I don’t want to ask a bunch from you, but is there a guide somewhere or can you point me in the right direction, or…list some steps to take.
If I remember correctly when I did this for my Ender 5, there was a source code that I downloaded, opened in visual studio and basically had to turn certain lines on or off depending on my machine. Is there a source code for what you are suggesting?
Again, I appreciate the quick response. Also, glad to know someone else has done it and is better off for it.
