Inconsistent first layer between prints with Beacon

I am currently struggling with first layer issues. I am currently only printing single layer 100 mm x 100 mm x 0.3 mm shapes to test this. My first print of a day or a work session starts looking decent and then the surface begins to have ripples indicating there is too much squish. I remove the print and immediately reprint the same file (select reprint from within RatOS) and it prints without any of the rippling issues. I have adjusted the microstepping for a motors to be 16 as was suggested by others here. ...

RatOS 2.1 Part fan running all the time - even at 0%

I am having some issues with my part fan. When I use the slider in the UI it increases in speed as it should, but when the slider is at 0% it is still running, I would guess somewhere around 2-5%. It is enough for me to feel a little airflow from the part fan vents. It is nothing compared to when running it at 100% which has really high airflow. This is the fan I am using: https://www.arctic.de/en/S4028-15K/ACFAN00264A I am using Orbitool O2 toolboard. ...

Part Cooling fan speed reversed

When I set my part fan to 0%, it spins at 100%, if I set it to 100%, it stops. If I set it to 75%, it spins at 25%. Any idea what the issue is?...
Solution:
Add a "!" in front of the pin of the fan port... Like this:
pin: !PB11
pin: !PB11
or remove it if there is one....

Homing and "move exceeds maximum extrusion" errors after a canceled print.

I am getting errors when restarting a print after a canceled print. When starting a new print without a firmware restart I get "Must home axis first: -72.166 250.501 15.000 [25.400]" It tries to home Y before X. If I home X manually it will happily home and start the print. When laying down the prime blob I then get "Move exceeds maximum extrusion (2.792mm^2 vs 0.640mm^2)" This happens consistently after canceling a print. doing a firmware reset is enough to fix it....

Getting IDEX to work

I started from a fresh install, after the old one kept spitting out errors. I am still getting just error messages and don't know what to do.

IDEX Offset Manual setup

Is there a way to apply the offset inside ratos-variables manually. VAOC module was a complete disaster so far for me. There is a varible idex_applied_offset = 0 which I believe is like boolean whether to apply the offsets but it is 1 only when try to calibrate via VAOC module. Is there a way to force RatOS to use the offsets (idex_xoffset , idex_yoffset, idex_zoffset ) inside this file without the VAOC module....
Solution:
I can confirm that now It's working and I'm not getting control point error. The issue from the second video with the toolheads crashing was due to toolheads hitting my BTT runout sensors at the back and now the heads align in VAOC. Suddenly the move out of range error disappeared. After the new config I was getting the error and after sometime it disappeared.

Octopus V1.1 F446 detected but is unresponsive.

During the initial setup I have the Octopus board unrensponsive. I’ve tried to flash again multiple times but nothing to do. I’ve also tried deconnectin all the cables and removing the jumpers to try the Micro SD mode formatting an 8GB card with sudo newfs_msdos -F 32 -c 8 -v FW /dev/disk6s1 But nothing to do: I get a fixed blue led near the card but nothing happens on startup or after pressing reset button....
Solution:
If not, the bootloader is dead, and then yeah you should try and flash it.

VAOC T1 x not lining up

I'm stuck. I line the two tool heads up in the VAOC config but then when it comes time to calibrate the z offsets T1 on the x doesn't line up with the probe. It's about 10mm off on the x. When I try to start over I get "Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _VAOC_CALIBRATE_TEMP_OFFSET:gcode': gcode.CommandError: Unexpected VAOC y-control point detected! Please run '_VAOC_RESET' to roll back to default values" Also when I start the config the gantry hits the back of the machine. I think it's about 1mm off...
Solution:
update everything, run _VAOC_RESET again.

Why can I not reach Ratos.local on my PC (chrome), but safari on my phone is able to connect?

More of a Chrome related question, not sure if any of my extensions may be causing the issue - perhaps someone knows whats happening. I know the image is loading fine, as I can always connect via safari on my iPhone or 2009 macbook air, but not with my PC running chrome or microsoft edge. I assume there is an issue moreso with my network settings than anything else but not sure how to fix this....

VAOC Set Reference and Set Offset missing

I managed to get my camera going and tried to calibrate the offsets with VAOC. However on the videos that I watched there were set reference and set offset buttons. Are there any further steps that I need to do before they apear or the videos are from older version and the VAOC is setting these automatically. I'm having a toolhead thermal calibration button on the place the set ref and set offset apear on the videos? https://github.com/VisualTech48/RatOS/blob/patch-1/site/docs/VAOC.md...

Move out of range error on Initial bed mesh set up

I just finished building my v core 4 Idex today and was trying to go through the commissioning guide. When I attempted to do the first bed mesh I got the following error that haults my progess: Move out of range: 495.311 25.000 2.000 [0.000] The head scans the front of the bed but then stops and prints this error. What should I check to find what I did wrong?...

Error after most recent update

I have the Orbitool O2 boards on my IDEX, and I'm getting this error after the most recent update. I tried reflashing all of the MCUs in the configurator, and adding PWM_MAX to my config, but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated...

Cannot get VAOC to run.

Hi, I added the configuration like mentioned but I am getting no camera image. In raspi I tried libcamera-hello --list-cameras which tells me there are no camera available. This is the dmesg output ```...
Solution:
Ok I got the config from the git page (https://github.com/VisualTech48/RatOS/blob/patch-1/site/docs/VAOC.md) and removed the custom_flags in the config and it worked. One issue was that the flat cable was mounted in the wrong direction. (The one in Step 18) Also it seems like the usb cable was a little loose, so I changed the usb port. Thanks for your help.
