I am currently working on building an Anet Metal Frame A8 printer. Along with that is several modifications. I'm using a Ramps 1.6 board w/ Arduino Mega 2560 board, Raspberry Pi 3, 500 watt computer PSU, and an E3D V6 clone hot end. I had originally planned on running a BLTouch, but it appears that it may be bad, and I don't know at this point whether I'm going to try spending the money to replace it or not.
For endstops, I'm running the Anet A8 endstops on X & Y, and I've managed to get them configured correctly where they show open when not homed, and triggered when homed. My problem is the endstop I'm now trying to use for Z. It is a Biqu/BigTreeTech mechanical endstop that I purchased on Amazon (Biqu Mechanical Endstop).
I initially had it plugged in wrong, and when activating the endstop, it would reset the Ramps board. After looking at the wiring, and figuring out which was the signal wire, I got it straightened out.
When I connect the printer to my computer, and execute an M119, I get open on X & Y, and Triggered on Z. I've tried reversing the logic in the Endstop Settings section of Configuration.h in Marlin, but I've had no change at all, it still continues to show triggered when it should be open.
Can anyone help me? I'm getting so frustrated trying to get this printer working, I'm about ready to throw it in a box and let it collect dust.
