What is the error you are getting in the mainsail interface?

This? I tried to fix this error by reversing it with “!” At the beginning but nothing happened.(lines 199-201 printer.config)

Correct, so that is not an issue of it being unable to connect to the octopus. That is your printer.cfg being wrong.

Yea, I think there’s a few issues. (Lines 199-201) Lol I tried to reverse it with “!” But that do anything

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Yea, i did notice that. What do I need to do? I appreciate the help
blacksmithforlife
You probably need to go through the configuration again and pick the correct things I personally haven't used the 2.x version because it is still in ALPHA You should change the title of this post, it has nothing to do with connecting the pi to the octopus
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Yea, about that configurator stuff... This is as far as I got. I can't get the next button to become selectable. I've flashed on the microsd, regular usb,...thats why along with the logs i dont think its' seeing my board

blacksmithforlife

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Yep, on three different cards. They all changed to CUr
blacksmithforlife

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago

Look at your actual board, it will say on it
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago

blacksmithforlife
ok good. And you made sure to select the correct firmware after you compiled it?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago

blacksmithforlife
No idea which post you are referring to. What firmware did you download and flash onto the octopus?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
it's time stamped for 11:21 that photo ratos
blacksmithforlife
there is no photo at 11:21 for me, so again I don't know which one you are referring to
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
no, sorry that was the pi
blacksmithforlife
What is the name of the firmware you downloaded?
blacksmithforlife
that is not what I am talking about
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
That's why asked
blacksmithforlife
Did you download firmware, renamed it to firmware.bin, put it on the SD card and flash it to your octopus?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Yes
blacksmithforlife
and what was the name of the firmware file you downloaded?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
No description
blacksmithforlife
is should be something like firmware-btt-octopus-11.bin
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
before I changed it to firmware.bin
blacksmithforlife
good, just double checking you downloaded the correct one
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
I followed all the instructions on the documentiotation
blacksmithforlife
Did you remove the jumper from the octopus so it can communicate over USB? No offense but a lot of people say that and miss key parts
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
I'm not offended. Just here to earn learn the new pic to flash from the usb looks like is says to add the juper but i did on micro with and without the jumper
blacksmithforlife

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago

blacksmithforlife

helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
i did that and flashed it successfully without it
blacksmithforlife
did you ever click the "check board status" button?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
nope. lol where might that button be?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
there does seem to be a strong suggestion to make sure the board is connected why i labeled the post like this
blacksmithforlife
you didn't do step 9... it says to then click the button g2g it is 1am here, good luck

So where are we at now?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Step 8 i guess Is it supposed to power itself back on?
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
The Octopus or the pi?
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
Um, both. theyre inline power wose wise
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
The Pi won't start itself back up. The board should just have power whenever there's power applied to it, so it should be on. The PI is an actual computer and doesn't like having its power just randomly cut off so the warning there is that if you're going to turn the entire machine off/on again, shutdown the PI first so it does a clean shutdown, then flip the power switch for the whole machine off and back on again.
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
ahhh, i flipped that around in my head i think. I gotcha So nothing happens when the I cick the check board status button
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
It's probably still not detected then Can you take a photo of your pi/octopus wiring

is the Octopus's USB-C connected to the usb c or the usb a on the pi
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
usb on pi side. c type on octopus side
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
I think you forgot a letter there
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
usb-a
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
Hmmn, that seems reasonable. This is definitely a USB cable that supports data right? Did you compile the firmware (from the "Octopus v1.1 was not detected" page, placed it on the sd card, put that into the octopus, turned it on, left it for a while, shutdown the pi and turned off the octopus and then pull the memory card to check that it got renamed to firmware.cur?

do you have a regular cable you can test with that doesn't have a weird power button in the middle?

Well, fuck me. Wife is grabbing one. guess i should read the dets better i ordered that specifically for this too
fascinating-indigo

I try not to look at my "ordered for a project and it didn't work out" pile of stuff. 🙂
helpful-purple
helpful-purple2y ago
😩 Yep, that was it lol i should've read the dets on that chord. I saw pi 4 and thought i had a winner jokes on me lol
fascinating-indigo
fascinating-indigo2y ago
Yeah I have no idea wtf that cord is supposed to do I guess maybe it uses some obscure spec to let you turn off the pi with power button presses while a device is connected or something?

When I built my V-Minion, I spent two days troubleshooting why the MCU went in shutdown everytime I tried moving any axis. Turns out RatOS checks all motor drivers for comms, and a misplaced driver was causing the issue lol

Might want to add that to your post instead of here
