      Hi. I could not find any info if this could work so I post this.

      I could not find any info if it is possible to use the BL touch in 3.3v mode only connecting to the 4 pin Z-probe connection in the same way as using 4 of the 5 pins on the duet Maestro or do it exist any reason why that would be a bad idea?

      Would this work (Of Course set to use 3.3v not 5v)?

      How it is connected to the Duet 2 Maestro for reference:

        That won't work on the Duet WiFi/Ethernet, because those Duets don't provide 5V on the Z probe connector, nor is the MOD pin on that connector usable as a servo control pin. See the wiki page on connecting Z probes.

          @dc42 Thank you for the excellent and fast response.

          I was thinking that it might work with the new one that can run on 3.3v but thank you for helping me before I tried something that might have damaged something.

            Servo outputs are available only on the 50 pin extender connector. If you want to have clean setup, you can try this breakout board https://github.com/zapta/misc/blob/master/evo/bltouch/bltouch_breakout/bltouch_breakout_pcb.pdf . 50 pin connector on the bottom, three pin connector at the top.

            It's running for me as a breadboard and am waiting for the PCBs to arrive so can't say 100% that the PCB is correct.
