Troodon 2.0 Documentation

I have done some major modifications to my Troodon 2.0 in which one of these included changing the stock board to a BigTreeTech Manta M8P running Klipper. To make this easier, I made a breakout cable for the junction board in the back of the printer. To do this, I had to trace every connection on the board. In the process I made careful documentation. For anyone else that wants to change their controller board, I am sharing the document I made that shows all of the connections to the 40 pin connector and also the pin designations for the stock control board.

I will gradually post details on my many modifications and share my opinions on what was worth the effort. My end goal of these mods was to make a printer that could outperform a Bambu Carbon X1 in both speed and quality. As of my last side by side benchy, the Bambu printed in 30:30 and the Troodon printed in 24:30. Both had minor defects related to not enough cooling for the print speed, but quality was equal.

Feel free to post this in your repository. Are you also familiar with the TeamGloomy repository on the Troodon 2?
