Problems flashing the Octopus board, possibly
No. But then how the hell do you tell if ANYTHING is happenning as I can't find what the lights on the Octopus mean and they all just stay on permanently anyway.

Problems flashing the Octopus board, possibly
Yes and I have even tried powering the Pi separately so just the USB cable from Pi to Octopus. All lights on both Pi and Octopus stay on permanently, no flashing ones at ANY stage. Blue light comes on when SDCard is inserted. One other point, when using the DFU route, a popup window warning appears telling you to remove the jumper BEFORE flashing but after resetting the board. Is that correct?

No. Sorry about the delay in answering but ... I have tried every which way that I can think of. with, without Pi, separate power supply for Pi and Octopus. Just can't think of any other combination. I have the feeling that the problem maybe earlier down the line as every time that I try and do anything I get this error message "Octopus V1.1 detected but is unresponsive. Klipper doesn't seem to be running on your board, which may indicate faulty firmware or a faulty board. Try hitting the reset button on your board, and click "Check Again" below. If it keeps failing, please check your board and try flashing it again. I bought a new board as I thought that it could have been that, tried it with 2 different Pis. Unfortunately I have no experience whatsoever with Mainsail, Moonraker or Klipper so don't have a clue where to go from here.
