VOAC Z-Endstop calibration crashes into cam

After doing VOAC X/Y calibration. I exited and rentered VOAC. Started the Z-calibration and the printer moves up the toolhead T0 and then its moved down into the cam.

VAOC issue (x offset on T0) after last RatOS update

I made some VAOC calibrations this morning, then I saw a RatOS update (2 commits) and updated. Then I tried again with VAOC but the toolhead 0 isn’t centered but has and offset.
Solution:
remove include and update ratos

"gcc: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1':; execvp: no such file or directory" when trying to flash

I'm using a fresh flash of RatOS 2.0.2 on a rpi4 and the configurator says that octopus 1.1 is detected but klipper not detected. When I try to flash it, it just gets back to it. I opened the devtools and found the error in the terminal: ``` TRPCClientError: Command failed: /home/pi/klippy-env/bin/python /home/pi/ratos-configurator/scripts/check-version.py /dev/btt-octopus-11 gcc: fatal error: cannot execute ‘cc1’: execvp: No such file or directory...
Solution:
ok, the issue seemed to be that going to the link http://ratos.local/configure?step=1 skipped the wifi configuration completely, and was trying to operate without a proper wifi connection

Unable to write tmc spi 'stepper_z' register GLOBALSCALER

New Hybrid Core v4 build, has never worked (brand new). Assembled machine, wired it, using custom DIN mount electronics enclosure.
Using Octopus EZ Max with EZ5160Pro drivers, but can repro it using an entirely independent Ocropus Pro 1.1 using TMC5610T Pro v1.0 drivers. EBB42 board. ...
Solution:
Thank you! Confirmed I fixed this - had a mismatch of driver slot install and motor cable port. SMH, this has been killing me....

How to use an alias assigned pin for something else

I'm probably missing a post, or guide somewhere, but I've looked and I can't find anything. I'm using a Octopus Max EZ board, and have selected "no fan" for controller fan in the setup wizard. I'm using an always-on fan port for constant cooling for my 5160 drivers. I want to use the alias assigned controller fan port "PA4" for another fan, but when I assign that pin in my config, I get this error.
Please feel free to make fun of me, or call me a dumbass, as needed. I am sure I'm not doing something right....

I want to use another camera for VAOC

I am self sourcing a vc4 and I ended up settling on a USB microscope to use as the VAOC camera, but I do not know how to configure it. The vaoc section of ratos just says webcam stream not found
Solution:
It'll work as long as you have configured it through crowsnest with camera-streamer on port 8080.

No chamber heater found

Think I am missing something or just being stupid... Added the Variable and two macros (nothing in them yet but might add something later) in the printer.cfg Then also added the sensor and heater pin section with the correct pins into the printer.cfg...

VAOC not loading and Realtime analysis giving errors....

I've updated to the newest versions of everything, now I'm not able to start the VAOC anymore and when going to Realtime analysis, I'm getting this error message as attached. I've switched my nozzles and wanted to do a VOAC so this time I noticed, it is not working. Everthing else seemt to work fine on my VC4-Idex... Please help me. Debugs enclosed as well....
Solution:
The motor slots have changed, you likely have a Y and either X/DC swapped. Just set them like you have it connected in the hardware configurator.

Klipper Shutdowns

Hi, I have some problems that they seem related: most of the time I get warnings that the z, z_1 or z_2 stepper drivers are too warm. This is not disturbing me too much , but recently I started to get Klipper shutdowns. The first was OvertempError reported by the stepper_z1. The second one was a MCU shutdown (see pics). Both the Octopus Pro board and the Raspberry 4 sit under two large 120mm fans, which are PID-controlled . The temperature is read next to the boards by a special thermistor....

SAVE_Z_OFFSET always saves to beacon model offset

Machine Info: V-Core 4 400 IDEX I am trying to calibrate my z offset as my first seems to be slightly off. I decided to recalibrate my beacon following the steps listed here: https://github.com/HelgeKeck/RatOS/blob/documentation_v2.1/site/docs/configuration/beacon_contact.md The only step I did not do is step 5 (scan compensation). ...
Solution:
No, it's during the first layer. If you end up having to adjust your g-code z_offset so that it's below zero, that's a strong indication that something most likely went wrong. It can be as simple as a dirty or loose nozzle or something more complex like your z couplers (the ones that couple the leadscrew to the motor shaft) aren't tight enough and thus your Z movements are inaccurate.

Error after updating board

I've changed out my board to an Octopus Max EZ v.1 and am getting this error. I can't find the issue. I'm sure it's something I've done wrong, just can't figure it out.

Smart filament sensor for Orbiter v2 configuration.

I'm trying to assist a friend of mine who's further along in his build than I'am. He's struggeling a bit with his Orbiter v2 Smart Sensor configuration and I'm wondering, does the attached picture look correct?

My ratrig V4 can not maintain temperatur stable

Hi my name is Alvaro, I hope somebody can give a hint, I recently bought 2 Vcore4 units, the hybrid one. And I'm having Z wooble problems, because the heated bed and also the extruder thermistors, are going up and donw like a degree after 2 or 3 seconds, i try to do PID tunning 15 times and nothing changes, even with the standar parameter I can not remove that 1 degree fluctuation in both heaters. Any ideas?? I just tested everything that I could, and follow the commisioning guide in the ratrig website, but nothing seams to help?...

Initial approach of beacon not working when the heated bed or hotend is heating.

I am able to perform the Poke test reliably when the bed and nozzle are cold, but it repeatedly fails when they are warming up.

goop on nozzle after prime blob

I get this a lot. How much depends on the filament, and probably temperature. continuation of conversation here: https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/1246562369513984100/1302452251041726549 after an hour of printing most of the filament from the prime blob will have wiped off, though you can see the remains of it still. (see marked image) The excess filament on the outside of the nozzle tends to cause messy first layers as that filament is slowly dragged off during the print....
