Wiring V-minion
The wiring diagram shows 4 large green squares. Inside the squares are smaller oblong. Am I supposed to put a jumper in this position. It also shows an ADXL345 is this needed. Kind Regards

Take a look here, quite good aditional information source 😉

its the place where you will put your motor drivers with passive coolers on top. but before you do put the drivers there, check the jumper in the correct position. if i remember well i had most of the jumpers already in place. 😉
adxl is optional and you dont need to worry about it. at least not at the begining. machine will work normlay without that 😄

and yes, the small green rectangle shows where the jumper should fit in and the bigger is marking for the stepper driver.

its basicaly selectrion of the comunication method between board and driver. V-Minion full kit comes with TMC2209 which is UART. 😉

@strashacz .. Getting there slowly. Got the electronic boards sorted and working with pc. Wiring next 🙂 Found the Bigtreetech site and other info. Its slow progress brain is scrambled with the pain killers for a bad back but should be getting something printed soon. Thanks for the help it is much appreciated 🙏 Kind Regards
Those are explained here: https://os.ratrig.com/docs/boards/btt/skrat-10
they should be explained in the actual RR comissioning beta docs as well.
I recommend sticking to the RatOS docs on this.
You need to flash the board with RatOS.
It supposed to take all this guess work out of it.
(no CLI interaction is one of them)
If you went through compiling / flashing klipper etc, that was a waste of time.

Exactly as @miklschmidt wrote. At first place continue with ratos guide. It was flawless for me to get the first print out of it, thanks to all the great work done on it.

@miklschmidt @strashacz .. Been following closely the build instructions. Made a few errors and had to go back. The problem I had with RatOS was very simple .. The software doesn't check the password for the Router. It just expects you to know what it is 🤣 .. I finally worked out what I had done wrong and now it all works as it should. Thanks for all the help 🙏
Yeah, that's generally how wifi works. On everything. You have to connect to it to verify the password, if i let it do that it would shut down the hotspot, you'd loose the connection and it wouldn't be able to tell you if it worked. That's why it reboots, checks and if it doesn't connect the hotspot comes back up. Same mechanism runs on each boot to recover from situations where you change your wifi password, get a new router, or move the printer.
I'll try and make that clear in the wizard, but i believe it's already in the dialog that you have to confirm before it reboots.
Yeah it's literally the last line in that dialog 😄

@miklschmidt .. I think the problem is just to much to read 🙂 Brain doesn't work as well as it used to 🤪
If it makes you feel better, not reading the instructions seems to be a pattern around here 😂

@miklschmidt .. Oh I did read them but somethings just get missed .. Everyday is a school day with this printer 🙃
