printer cfg issues
Heyo, last night my printer got a little creative (see image below) so I figured it'd be a good idea finally set up spaghetti detective so:
1. I updated all the printer firmware
2. installed obico, which took a little while cause I'm not a linux wizard.
After this however I seem to be missing my printer.cfg in home/pi/printer_data
I did eventually find it in home/pi/klipper_config so I've at the very least got a backup now 
but if I move that file into printer data I get an error so I'm guessing there's supposed to be a generic one there and the one with all my tweaks goes in printer data?
At the very least I'm still operational, I just can't actually access the 'active' cfg to make changes from the machine tab. And it'd be nice to tweak some webcam settings at some point.
Sorry if this is a common issue I did some keyword searches bud didn't find much.

the config folder situation has changeed recently
i guess the spaghetti code thingy jsut isnt up to date with its install scripts
having the same issue with my own plugins
can you share a link to the repo?
should be an easy fix
passive-yellow•15mo ago
sorry, which repo did you mean? the obico git for the install?
yes
passive-yellow•15mo ago
I sort of get the impression that obico installs itself and you just point it towards some moonraker configuration file, but here you go:

thanks for the help, btw
i see the install script is up to date and respects the new config folder situation
and i also see that youre printer.cfg itself isnt found
do you use RatOS?
passive-yellow•15mo ago
yes
this is a bit strange
passive-yellow•15mo ago
my predicament is an updating the firmware problem I think
not spaghetti related
i would do start with a fresh RatOS image and jsut install ratos, without any extras
if this works then install the new plugin
passive-yellow•15mo ago
new plugin being obico?
yes, first ratos, make your printer work first
after that, install obico
i am here in case you need additional help
passive-yellow•15mo ago
yup, ahh, thats a bit annoying, specially because it is working, but such is life
what do you mean with it is working?
if everything works why are we here 😆
passive-yellow•15mo ago
the printer.cfg in klipper_config is being used, but it's not accessable from the machine tab
this isnt normal
passive-yellow•15mo ago
no
i really would reisntall ratos, making it work and then do the other thing
passive-yellow•15mo ago
yeah
I'll get on it
a tip, if you have a working ratos installtion backup the printer.cfg file
this makes it easer and faster in case you need to reflash
passive-yellow•15mo ago
what should I download to make it go faster
ah
just the cfg, already done that
any way to grab my macros or dashboard layout?
yes, mainsail has a integrated backup and restore function
passive-yellow•15mo ago
ok, I'll look into that
its somewhere in the settings page
passive-yellow•15mo ago
Sorry for so many questions, its been a while, I'm going to want to grab the sd card and reinstall ratos onm windows yes?
yes, reflash the SD card with ratos
passive-yellow•15mo ago
alrighty, I'll go get started, thanks for the help, really appreciate it
just real quick, what version do I want for a raspberry pi?
passive-yellow•15mo ago
passive-yellow•15mo ago
I assume rpi64 is good
64Bit only if you have a raspberry PI 4 with more than 4gb ram
if not use 32 bit
passive-yellow•15mo ago
yep, just found that, my brain makes it hard for me to parse doucmentation pages sometime
I'll double check that I do
On RatOS v1, ~/klipper_config is symlinked into ~/printer_data/config
If you want "proper" directories, use RatOS v2
if things aren't visible in the machine tab, that means you didn't update for months, so you gotta run: https://os.ratrig.com/blog/moonraker-config-changes#missing-files-after-update
Moonraker is now safe to update | RatOS
Major moonraker config and file changes
But i see you're reinstalling with 2.0 so you can ignore that 🙂
passive-yellow•15mo ago
yeah, I'm halfway done now, but good to know.
Everything looks to be fixed after that. Thanks all
@Helge Keck Obico didn’t install. Is asking for Moonraker settings. Suggesting w I use KIAUH. Please help.
i dont understand your question
please create a own thread and do not hijack another one
@Helge Keck How do I insert screen shot within a message?
make screenshot and then just ctrl+v into the discussion

@Helge Keck
please create a own thread and explain what you are trying to do
What triggers an unload filament? It seems to be happening right after prime blob, after first layer and frequently thereafter?
Check that you didn't insert a filament change in your slicer
Only
UNLOAD_FILAMENT and M600 (color change) trigger an unload.@miklschmidt that’s what I thought. I’ve replaced nozzle, hot end, disabled filament sensor, disabled Obico. I’ve just changed filament too,
Well, you either made a change that makes it happen (filament sensor was a good bet) or it comes from your slicer. 🤷♂️
@miklschmidt nothing in the slicer.
Check the .gcode it outputs
Just noticed you hijacked another thread @tracyb7734 please create separate thread for your issues.
@miklschmidt I’m sorry. So I need to create a thread for any question I have?
Any issue, yes. If it's just general "how do i do this", please use #klipper.
do you have a filament sensor installed?
false triggers can cause automatic unloads
@Helge Keck Yes. I just commented all lines out. Will reboot and try again.
