Ender 3 upgrade to v2 silent board 4.2.7 and add BLTouch 3.1

I recently found out about the v2 motherboard upgrade (Motherboard V4.2.7 with TMC2225) for the Ender 3. It is a great idea and not very expensive or hard to do.  The reasons for doing the upgrade are you replace the 8 bit board with a 32 bit board and the new board comes with Silent stepper motor drivers.  They may the printer run silent except for the power supply fan which I added a cover over to quite down some.

Then I found out the new board supports the BLTouch and filament sensor connectors so I thought great I will just buy a BLTouch and plug it in because I always wanted to have self leveling. If I had know everything needed to do this up front to install the BLTouch it might have scared me away.  In addition to purchasing the BLTouch I needed a 1.5 meter extension cable (which I made for 22 gauge wire) and I needed to upgrade the firmware and enable the BLTouch.  (To do this I had to install VSCode and you need to install the PlatformIO IDE extension for VS Code prior to building.)

• 1x BLTouch Mount (3D Printed) - http://bit.ly/3eQGHHo
• 2x Screws M3x6 6-8x Cable Ties
• Firmware Upgrade for BLTouch: http://bit.ly/3bViuhg

In the end these two videos to be the most helpful to get the BLTouch working: 

• ENDER3 4.2.7 SILENT BOARD UPGRADE FIRMWARE - PART 2 INSTALLATION - BLTOUCH 3.1 - MICROSWISS DD 
• ENDER3 4.2.7 SILENT BOARD UPGRADE - PART 3 - TROUBLE SHOOT BLTOUCH 3.1 - MICROSWISS DD 

I also reviewed this video but it did not match very well as it is for a Ender 3 V2 and I just had an Ender 3 (with the old display screen)

I had everything correct, new firmware, cabling but the BLTouch would not initialize, finally I pushed the connectors on to the board much harder and tried again and it all worked!
