First a big thank you, I would never have attempted Klipper'ing my E7 without your repo, I did the work over Xmas and it's been a pretty smooth experice.

I'm at the stage of trying to get my CR Touch working, I have it plugged directly into the mainboard as indicated here:

The CR Touch has a red LED and when I turn the printer on the pin jumps up and down once which gives me hope that I've wired it in correctly. But I'm unsure what pin I need to reference in the printer.cfg to make it work with klipper, I tried this (which I found somewhere) but the 'BLTOUCH_DEBUG COMMAND=pin_down' doesn't work and I'm a bit stuck.

[bltouch]
sensor_pin: ^PC14 
control_pin: PC13 
x_offset: -32
y_offset: -41
z_offset: 2.80
speed:10
samples:1
samples_result:average
probe_with_touch_mode: true
stow_on_each_sample: false

[safe_z_home]
home_xy_position: 154,154
speed: 100
z_hop: 10
z_hop_speed: 5

[bed_mesh]
speed: 100
mesh_min: 10, 10
mesh_max: 225, 189
algorithm: bicubic
probe_count: 5,5

I'm also unsure if I should disable the 'endstop_pin: ^PA7' in the Z-Axis as I saw that mentioned somewhere too.

Any help appreciated - Dan

Just curious if anyone has seen this on there Ender 7. My bed heater is turning on as soon as I power on the printer. When I open the Klipper web page, and click on firmware restart the heater turns off automatically and everything seems to be back to normal.

The DM542 stepper drivers are set to 12800 steps via DIP switches on my Ender7. That would be 64 microsteps and 64mm rotation distance, not 32.

In my Ender 7 I used code !PA15 when uploading klipper. Do you have such a problem that before the klipper turns on, the table is heating up?

It looks like you moved to klipper a while ago, what have your long term results been like on the Ender 7?

Could you describe the benefits of the transition in your experience.

Thanks very much in advance.

Did you get it dialed in correctly? I tried printing the test cube and couldn't really see the cornes improving. It seems to be that the Ender-7 nozzle delays everything, if I set pressure Advance high enough to see a difference I get underextrusion right in the middle of the wall of the testcube, not near the cornes (as it is in different photos shown online).
