*note, this could also be done with a different Arduino if you don't care so much about looks. The Nano is just very cheap and fits nicely into a small case.

Here's a link to download the Marlin 1.1.6 firmware for the CR-10 with Auto Bed Leveling enabled:

you'll need to burn a bootloader to your printer before you can update the firmware. I'm working on making a video that explains how to do that on the CR-10 with the same Arduino Nano that you can use for your Sensor, but until then if you have a spare Arduino Uno laying around, you can follow the same steps I put up in my Firmware guide to updating the firmware on a Monoprice Maker Select here:

Comments on this part claim it's the same, but I haven't ordered one, so no promises:

If you don't want to bother with crimping JST connectors, you can probably get away with using something like these and just cutting them where you need to solder them to your board/splice into your sensor wires:
