Had you tried to heat the bed before successfully? What was the error message? Are you on ratos 2.02 or 2.1?

pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
No both don’t turn on but it does have continuity It’s kinda weird
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
what has continuity?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
0.95 I think it was

All the wires to the psu all black and red

that isn't how you check if power is going where it should Is the power supply putting out 24V? Is the raspi getting voltage? Is the octopus getting voltage?

I pm you need some help to be honest
TheTik

It sounds like you have a multimeter, are you familiar with how to use it?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
To some degree
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
Are you on 120VAC or 240VAC?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
120
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
With the multimeter set to AC, verify that you're getting AC voltage to the power supply Following that, set it to DC and verify that the power supply is putting out 24V
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
If all works what’s the next step
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
Then verify that the raspi is getting voltage. Try disconnecting everything from the raspi except power in. Then check that the octopus is getting power
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
Okay I’ll check any videos you recommend to follow

This is basic troubleshooting, following power and making sure its going where it should If it was mechanical, why did it shut down? You said nothing happens when you power it on right?

figured out the issue was a tmc stepper on the wrong location ? now tho when homing the printer crashes into the x stop on one side ?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
im in the process of doing that but im getting this error now

I tried moving t1 and it moving t0 agressviely then crashed

Its says its beacon issue but was just working fine, and i notice the beacon connector very loose in the port of the beacon even if i try to push it in seems loose ?

Power down, remove the beacon, check the connection and reset it, the reattach the beacon

i did still nothing now it wont get me to the main screen in mainsail it just tells me klippy trying to connect wait a few minutes how do i reset it its flashing red
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
what do you mean by "main screen" in mainsail? What is the exact connection error message? (screenshot might be best) What are you wanting to reset? What is "it" in "its flashing red"?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
got it back up and running hopefully it goes smoothly but when clikc t1 it goes into some crazy mode where it crashes everything works well for t0 but when i try the same thing on t1 it goes in crazy mode and t0 crashess its almost like the x endstop isnt read ?
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
test the endstop then
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
it thinks my t1 and t0 are the same head
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
Run through the configurator again, verify you have a T0 and T1, and not two T0

It seems to be using the same stepper which one should I put for the t1

I don't know a ton about IDEX, are you in copy mode perhaps? What happens if you try to just move one head?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
It moves only the t0
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
What if you select T1 and try to move it?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
It moves t0 It does change the template of t1 and t0 separate which means it communicating
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
What files have you edited?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
none just follwed the wizard to flash everything and it all said it was good
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
Is that what you did here?
got it back up and running hopefully it goes smoothly but when clikc t1 it goes into some crazy mode where it crashes
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
its showing the same pin for both heads ?

toolboard_t0:e_dir_pin and toolboard_t1:e_dir_pinare different
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
Should I reflash everything again ? I seriously am lost
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
so if you try to move T0 or T1, the same head moves?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP5w ago
all good with this error now was a wirring issue, the instruction show diffrent wiring set up to the end diagram now trying to get through beacon calibration go it ! was a direction issue haha
TheTik
TheTik5w ago
hooray! If you can show where the wiring diagrams are different, we can point that out to the documentation people to get it fixed
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
the end diagram of the idex build differs from whe nyou buid following the steps of core xy/ hybrid as it reads as such on the manual perhaps its me haha but ill send them over through pm as well would you know anyone who sells chamber heaters i make one myself but thats kinda new domain for me and want to be safe ? Please let me know ! Thank you Where can you find in ratos the heater bed min and max temp ?

i cant seem to triger the z endstop but the calibration starts soemtimes and stops and beacon is cailbrated ?
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
try ssh-ing in and run ratos doctor. I think that kind of error suggests something is wrong with your macros/ratos files If that doesn't fix it, drop your debug.zip file in here
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
could i share the ratos file ? where do i find the debug file
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
configurator > left column > debug.zip
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
thank you for the help
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
what command are you running that causes that error to happen?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
i havent done anything but the manual instructions what will happen for idex if i dont use the vaoc tried a fresh config started over same issue
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
so you're working through the commissioning guide?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
yes i never wrote any code z probe
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
Did you make sure to click on IDEX here?
No description
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
yes
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
what step are you on?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
step 2209 the standard ones bigtreetech everything works no error else
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
I don't see '2209' anywhere on the page
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
the ones in the box
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
Sorry, I meant step are you on the guide, not what stepper.
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
oh okay vaoc
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
What is the full name of the step, or a screenshot. I wish that page had more direct links

you missed a step search that page for Step 2 - Configure the Z Endstop and VAOC LED Follow step 1 under that I gotta head to bed, but re-read and carefully follow the guide. Lots of people have successfuly gotten their machine running using it.
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
i dont see it in the instructions but ill keep looking thanks for the help ! i did the z tilt and homed the printer I see okay going to restart the hole process as originally was using the old manual then got told to do this manual I see the issue is it’s not mentioned in the cfg
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
Were you using the ratos 2.0 guide?
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
Idk new to rat rig got a question ? So beacon calibrated an offset for printing for or less and you can manually adjust if need be ?
TheTik
TheTik4w ago
I didn't understand the question, sorry.
pkratsios39
pkratsios39OP4w ago
Skew calibration ?
No description

pkratsios39OP4w ago
I canceling it or should I let it continue ? Or if I slow down the speeds does it matter for skew First layer perfect 60 c Or should I hotter for the size https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/937654723727745046/1369827452620378152
