Printer needs config updates after turning it back on.

So i got my V core 4 set up and ran past my initial tests. Hooked the bed up and all my heaters and fans worked great. I got a good mesh and was ready to start some test prints. I shut everything down and came back the next day. Today when I booted everything up, my mcu decided it didn't want to communicate. That was odd. I have it off network and connected to a laptop. The IP address is fixed and I was getting a ping on the canbus, pi and the octopus board. So i opened my config files and saw that my printer.cfg folder was empty and was not including my RatOS.cfg file anymore. Ok, so included it. Next it comes up with an error saying that there is no bed heater data. I searched around and found nothing. I don't understand why it was working fine and then decided not too? I'm familiar with Klipper and have wrote some config files before. I read that the RatOS should basically make it's own changes while you go through the setup wizard. I understand that I should not edit the RatOS.cfg file, but why is my printer.cfg file need edited to let me connect after I already had the machine running ? Any ideas ? Thanks 🙂

Not sure if I can help you but from what I noticed: Ratos.cfg should not be in your printer.cfg, it is a separate file and also, RATOS is set up for USB and not really set up for CAN (you are on your own if you are using it). Also, you should include a copy of your printer.cfg so that others that know more then I do can help you more easily.

I can get it tomorrow at work. It's just what the set-up wizard made 🫠 The RatOS had the can in the setup wizard. I got all the components from them. The electronics and hardware kit.
