IR Sensor does not work

Hi, today I did some modifications.
First I got the TMC2130 for X,Y,Z and E0 in my JG A5. After that I also would like to implement the IR Sensor like mentinoed on thingivers, but this does not word.
The first software changes which I did were exactly like Da Hai did in his video. Everything perfect so far.
After that I did the same changes on the already modified software (which will be provided in the download package of thingiverse), but at this time the Z endstop does not work.
I would like to keep the physical endstop as mentioned from Samuel. But now the Z homing does not go down, it goes up and up again.
Are there some necessary changes in the software for that?
Thank you
Best Regards
Mario

I stopped using the IR sensor as I had some problems with it not working well, probably because of the pattern on the bed.
I am using the Config file 1.1.8 C including the modification from Da Hai for the TMC2130 - stealth chop.
I did the modifications in your file from the "Configuration.h" but I seems to be still the physical Z stop which is working. Maybe I did something wrong.
Than i did some version of the thingivers Config and your settings. But also not satisfying - seems also that the physical Z stop is working.
Not sure if I should use the pin on the physical Z stop to get it working.
Not that easy for me.
Are the changes just in Configuration.h or are there other changes necessary?

I am currently printing a project for my son. After that I would like to try it again.

It was hard to find the time for some modifications and it was quiet harder to achieve the result which I was looking for.
But now I am done with the IR Sensor modifications and it works really fine. Unfortunately I was not able to use the z-max pin (could not find the right settings to get it working) to connect the IR Sensor. Now I am using the z-min, some changes in marlin and it works great for me so far.
Thank you again for your Support Samuel, I really appreciate it.
Best,
Sam
