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

wiring and configuration again. Next issue a `BLTOUCH_DEBUG
COMMAND=pin_up`, verify that the pin moves up, and that the red light
