There's very little info online regarding how to wire a filament runout sensor properly on "compound motherboards". Schematics barely exist, are outdated, or simply doesnt have data you seek. So i hope to help by keeping it simple.
This applies to motherboards out there like my OSOYOO MKS Base v1.5 board and my Hictop red MPX .3
Made this to work with regular end-stops micro switches.

Endstop microswitch with pigtail connector
Four 3mm x 1.5mm magnets
M3 x 5mm screw
M3 Nut

There's 3 changes that must take place:
(1) Enable filament
