Bye bye BLTouch

I have had probe on my printer for years now and never had an issue, last year I built an enclosure out of lack tables and I found things with the original sensor going strange. I had to keep adjusting the offsets to the bed I was damaging nozzles and digging into the bed.

My suspicion was at the time the cheap 3D touch was worn out or the hats was affecting it, when I had some money I purchased an original antclabs bltouch v3 sensor 

It arrived in January and once the time arose the new sensor got fitted, and tested and for some reason it still didn't work as well as it could have so it was time to start looking at the code.

I downloaded marlin 2.0.5.3 and went through a lot of YouTube videos and wrote down notes on how to use the new marlin and in fact the vs code that I haven't used before

it was then I got into adjusting the code to work the to work for my ender3, I did struggle at points as things  have moved around in the files, it took many attempts to get the code to work and I still could not get it to work correctly.

At 9pm last night I decided for now to go back to a standard z stop switch and change the firmware to suit
