The voltage supposed to be ~5V/~0.2V with stock optical endstop on/off, I got ~3.3V/0.1V instead without remove the pull-up and current limiting resistor. It still works well since 3.3V still considered high voltage. I think just replace the Ir LED and optical-transistor from the new endstop with solder iron to replace the old one is a better choice. It is technical challenging, but it is not expensive and risk of get anything burned is low. Worth to try when out of choices.</p>]]></content>
