HI, I was very confused about the formulation and after some discussion on the voron discord I propose to make the formulation more explanatory.

| 1. When choosing pins on the MCU board to which you will connect the sensor, please be aware that the endstop pins are oftentimes connected with diag pins (for the given stepper), therefore using the seemingly available endstop pins might/will interfere with sensorless homing/StallGuard possibly set up for the stepper. | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Did something change? As far as I am aware dig pins are not set/enabled by default in any MCU today? The way this reads to me is that this is a default which it is not.
I do agree that we can possibly change this statement but the user has to make a conscious effort to use sensorless homing/stallguard.
I purpose changing it to this instead.
Sensorless homing/StallGuard is known to interfere with the sensor if the diag pin is set on the corresponding endstop pin. For example, If the diag pin is enabled/installed for stepper driver in position 3 then endstop position 3 will not allow the filament sensor to be detected properly.
