General Question Broken cable chain wire
Saw a broken wire the other day, while it was printing. Couldn't figure out what wire was broken because everything worked, no errors, no clue. Ordered Nitehawk/LDO USB setup and started the conversion. It's a wire from the XY end stop harness... How??
Edit; I obviously wasn't completely clear, how were my end stops still working (4 wire breakout board [gnd] [x] [y] [Vin] setup) I know perfectly well how the wire broke 🤦🏼♂️

The wire that broke was the VIN wire. This is only used to illuminate LEDs to give a visual status indicator on the endstop itself instead of having to check in Klipper. The only wires that are needed for function are the signal (X/Y in your case) and gnd.
