# Roadkill Enhanced Toolhead PCB Family

The RKE family of toolhead boards are based off the roadkill board designed xbst\_ but offers numerous improvements.
The RKE family of toolhead boards are based off the roadkill board designed by xbst\_ but offers numerous improvements.

- Heater current capacity is greatly improved offering 5A of capacity on the RKE-Long board and 6A on RKE<sup>2</sup>.
- Support for simultaneous use of neopixels, filament sensor, inductive probe and x endstop switch with dedicated ports for all features.

# Wiring Harness Guide
This guide should help you crimp the cables between your MCU and gantry RKE2 PCB.

[Harness Guide](/roadkill/RKE2_harness_guide.pdf)

You can follow the voron guide for lengths here:

[Trident](https://docs.vorondesign.com/build/electrical/trident_gantry_wires.html)

# Probe Wiring
It is critical to wire Z probe correctly to avoid damage to MCU. Follow the below wiring guides
RK36v2 and the RKE2PJ board have probe voltage jumpers to disconnect the probe voltage pin entirely unless correctly configured. Both 5v and 24v are selectable.
RK36 solder pad jumpers are located on the rear of the board.
