I got a BL touch (the white one) and I cant get the software for it? I connected the ender 3 pro into my PC but I cant find the files to the BL touch, or to flash the firmware! I think I'm a total idiot rn but there must be something I'm missing??? anyway, I just purchased 3 more for my other ender3s so I kinda reeeeaaaalllly gotta figure this out.

(ignore Michael he's just here to get your attention) (the install to the printer was easy I just need software stuff)

You may need to install marlin firmware, I don't know if there is official creality firmware that includes the bl touch

#

Some people may have shared their marlin firmware pre built so other people can flash it

lazy way:

It's versioned by motherboard version, so download correct one and not just latest, file names include whether they include bltouch

And you can find on youtube how to flash new firmware on your printer (iirc it's pretty much just putting firmware on sd card and inserting to your printer, but double check that)

Difficult way:

Configure and compile firmware manually
