      My question is how can make this work, there is common mod called The Waggster for the artillery to utilize the 20-pin ribbon cable rather than running the standard BL cables down into the box.
      My BLTouch cord is too short to run a standard installation but I don’t see an obvious place to plug these LED cables to make it happen on the Duet 2 WiFi board.
      Any suggestions?

        What cables exactly would those be?

          @Phaedrux I was able to figure it out. I used the Z-probe "standard" connection on D2Wifi board and traced down the cables that run thru the ribbon cables up to my extruder and mounted the BLtouch on a mount and plugged in. I have yet to calibrate it, I am having trouble getting DWC to connect? I followed the Getting Connected guide and when I power on the PanelDue says I'm connected to home wifi so idk why it's not working

              Below is how you would want to connect your SW ribbon cables down from the x-carriage breakout board. I just used a continuity checker from the wires in the box to the daughter board to identify each.

              Also, note that since the 4pin SW LED port doesn't do 5 pins lol i just tied the black & brown (both grounds) together. You could then separate them once into the box but that's just bragging lol
