Where was the "orange dot", and how did you see it? Was it in the filename, or inside the file when viewed with.text editor, or did you see it in some other manner?

This answer doesn't make much sense to me. You got it homing, but not working with the CR Touch? Shouldn't that be the crux of the question, i.e. getting it to home with the leveling sensor?

<p>After building my Ender 3 printer, installing the CR touch auto bed leveling kit, and the Ender-3 Marlin2.0.6 CR-Touch or BLTouch firmware for it.

So I tested the end stops with a multimeter and they all seemed fine.
