Seems like there is never a simple upgrade on a 3D printer for me. When my extruder arm busted and I could not find my Tinymachines updated part to replace it with, I got all excited about installing a BMG clone on my as then untested Hydra Remix for the CR10S Pro. Well it's tested now, and will be updated with some fixes though nothing too major that I couldn't make some changes on the fly to the prototype I tested (and am still using). But what sort'a messed me up was that after I installed the new magnetic bed, it seemed cool with the old setup and ABL seemed to be working OK, but when rebuilt the hot end it got all nutty and appeared that there may be some issue with the inductive sensor interacting with the magnet (which I sort'a expected though was suprised after the initial ABL did not show it. In any case, I had some old 3D touch probes around (and one bad one which is of course the first one I picked), so "upgraded" the inductive sensor to a 3D Touch probe. I also dropped in Tinymachines 7.4.3 for the CR10S Pro V2 which uses the Z+ endstop instead of a jumper and the Z- endstop when going from the old V1 I have to what is essentially now a V2 with the touch style probe.
I also designed a quick adjustable probe mount since I did not feel like messing around with figuring out the specs for a fixed probe, though I did end up modeling that anyway. I plan to finish up testing and then will update the Hydra Remix. Although I'm happy that the Hydra Remix will soon be checked off the list and finalized, what a mess, and all from a stupid extruder arm I could have just replaced and kept on rocking.
I'm not gonna do a writeup of how to install the probe since it is really well covered by Tinymachines here, and there is another great resource page here. I will just add this image below since I used the OctoPrint firmware updater tool to do the upgrade. It required installing AVRDude according to these instructions, and then I just set the following in the plugin options:

After install, I just ran M502 (factory reset) and then M500 (save), then added these for the probe offset and the BMG e-steps:
M851 X0.00 Y-46.00 Z0.00
M92 E415.00
I ran a PID tune from the menus and set the probe z-offset using the menus as well.
