If the above is looking good, it's time to test that the probe
responds to commands from the firmware. First run `BLTOUCH_DEBUG
COMMAND=pin_down` in your printer terminal. Verify that the pin moves
down, and that the red LED on the probe turns off. If not, check your
down and that the red LED on the probe turns off. If not, check your
wiring and configuration again. Next issue a `BLTOUCH_DEBUG
COMMAND=pin_up`, verify that the pin moves up, and that the red light
turns on again. If it's flashing then there's some problem.

After completing the BL-Touch command and sensor tests, it is now time
to test homing, but with a twist. Instead of letting the probe pin
touch the print bed, let it touch the nail on your finger. Position
the head far from the bed, issue a `G28`, wait until it starts to move
down, and stop the movement by very gently touching the pin with your
nail. You probably have to do it twice, since the default
configuration makes it probe twice. But be prepared to turn off the
printer, to avoid damage, if it doesn't stop when you touch the pin.

If that was successful, do another `G28` but this time let it touch
the bed as it should.
