Inductive proximity sensor for Prusa I3 by Folger Tech

I have had my Prusa I3 for about 5 months now and I thought I would do an upgrade to it. I decided to put an auto leveling system on the printer. I purchased an inductive proximity sensor and made a mount for it. the real problem that I am running deals with the marlin software. As I am looking through the configurtion.h files I don't see an option for the auto leveling. I was hoping some of you guys could help me out.

What marlin version are you running? I'm not sure what version auto bed leveling has been implemented in marlin but newer version should have.

I would download the newer marlin version, then copy from your current config to the new one

My experience is that the Folger supplied software is a subset of Marlin. I couldn't get my Full Graphics controller to work until I got the complete Marlin package from GITHUB.

Another approach would be to check their FAQs on their website and failing that, send an email to Dan and ask if it is supported.

Remember that it will not work on non metallic surfaces.
