Inductive Sensor in 24 V machine?
The inductive sensors work better when you apply a higher voltage than 5 V. Usually they are rated for 6-36 V, but please do check.
To prevent frying your board when connecting the sensor ...

Using auto-bed leveling, do I need to initiate G29 before every print?
No, it is not necessary to call G29 before every print to "auto level the bed" 1) provided that:
the bed surface has not changed (e.g. large load or ...

Automatic Bed Leveling (ABL) with a sensor (BLTouch, inductive, capacitive), how does it work?
The issues/questions raised about the automatic bed leveling using e.g. a BLTouch probe at this stack require a more in depth description of the automatic leveling functionality in general, this ...

How to wire P.I.N.D.A. v2 to an SKR V1.3 board?
TL;DR
To answer your question how (by assuming you have a 4 pins PINDA v2 sensor) to connect the sensor to your board, you have 2 options:
Do not connect the white wire and treat the sensor as you ...

Issues with Auto Bed Leveling
Your problem is that the hotend carriage does not stop when the sensor triggers. I assume you mean "on homing", not "while printing" (UPDATE: after watching the video it is confirmed that it is "on ...

Inductive Sensor in 24 V machine?
Another possibility is to create a voltage divider circuit.
In electronics, a voltage divider (also known as a potential divider)
is a passive linear circuit that produces an output voltage (...

Inductive Sensor in 24 V machine?
Minimalist Solution
The very simplest possible implementation is to use a single resistor(!) to protect the input pin, as described in this source. The AVR inputs are protected from over/under ...

Can I use a 12 V single channel optocoupler module in a 24 V machine?
You can safely use the module with 24V.
The input side shows a red LED, optocoupler and 1k resistor in series. The LED and optocoupler probably have a voltage drop in the neighbourhood of 3.1-3.5&...

Sensor can not read temperature
I get this issue, more or less the same.
In my case, it wont read temperature UNLESS both X and Y steppers are active. If any of those is open, it displays err/0.

Inductive Sensor Causes Print To Stop
Solved the problem, I was missing this line:
#define ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZMIN_PROBE
Apparently the sensor required a pull-up to better define the signal.

Ender 3 ignores signal from optocoupler
Not knowing the type of inductive sensor you are using, the most common, an NPN type sensor (like the LJ18A3-8-Z/BX) is assumed (in relation to your previous question). NPN type sensors imply that the ...

How to wire an LJ18A3-8-Z/BX sensor with an optocoupler to a stock Ender 3?
Both diagrams are exactly the same, the difference is the +5 V that is not connected on the bottom diagram (displayed in white, labelled "not used"), but since your endstops do not have a +5 ...

Hooking up an optocoupler in a 24V Machine, is a 2 kOhm resistor sufficient?
TL;DR
Yes, a 2 kΩ resistor is sufficient to limit the current to about 12 mA through the optocoupler. With a maximum current specification of 60 mA you require at least 400 Ω; any resistor in between ...

M12 vs M18 V5 inductive probe
The larger the diameter and the higher the voltage the larger the detection distance. You do not need to do much wire modification if you use an optocoupler, see this anwer.
