Prusa i3 auto level

I purchased this printer [www.aliexpress.com], I'm trying to add auto leveling so I purchased this inductive sensor [www.amazon.com] and 9g servo's as well as some bump stop switches.

The motherboard is a 3D CSTAR [g02.a.alicdn.com] which doesn't have any obvious places to hook all of these components up, I can't find anything to help me do this, so is it possible with this motherboard? Do I use just the inductive sensor or are the servo's and switches neccessary? How do I implement this into the g-code?

If you're printing on a aluminum bed, use the inductive sensor and this video should get you started: [youtu.be]

If printing on a glass bed, then use the servo & switch. There are youtube videos about using a servo.

Okay I will just use the sensor then, the problem is I can't find anywhere that say's how to attach the sensor to my board. I can solder I just don't see any information on it.

It should connect the same way as on a RAMPS, on the z-min endstop.
