Describe your issue:

Hi,

i’m looking to set up a retractable probe dock for the klicky probe but can’t find anything about how to connect it to the Manta or CB1 on my setup. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. This isn’t rightly a problem with Klipper but more an issue into how to wire up the servo to the mainboard or host.

I know the servo requires 5V and GND for power and a PWM signal for the control. Is the power requirement of the servo low enough that i can plug it into one of the ports of the Manta? Maybe i could use the existing Probe socket on the Manta which is usually used for the BL and CR Touch? Also, does the Manta put out a 5V PWM signal on any of it’s pins?

I’m looking for examples of how other people have done this before as i can’t seem to find anything online.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
