Solved - Configuration errors? 'pid_Kd' in section 'heater_bed'

Was able to home X and Y using limit switches. Had trouble homing Z . Thanks to the other threads, a touchless probe is illuminated so progress is being made. Came back and restarted one morning and error popped up was missing configuration.cfg file. Did a fresh reload on Pi and reflash BTT V1.1 board. Updated all files through configuration wizard. Updated again this morning.

Tried a few ways to fix configuration to fix error in photo. 'pid_Kd' in section 'heater_bed'. I'm not making forward progress with edits. What suggestions do you have?

also line 283 is just hanging around without a header

OK, will give that a try. Excellent. So any special overrides needs a header? Got it

so line 250-252 you should make the k lowercase

Next time send the printer.cfg instead of the photo. Look at line 259...
