Prime Line instead of Blob?

I am getting all sorts of blobs on my print and I wonder if they are coming from the prime blob at the start which engulfs the nozzle that then drags itself out of it. Is there a way to switch this to a line in RatOS?...
Solution:
Prime line was deprecated.

still cant get first layers to be consistent

i'm at my wits end with this printer. im 10 days in and still dont have a first print done. i've been tryin to get my first layer issues sorted out. multiple beacon calibrations later, i'm still getting inconsistencies and non-sticking portions of prints. it's not the build plate, it's clean. the printer is not putting the plastic down close enough to the bed to smush on the external walls, it's constantly all over the place. it's exceedingly frustrating. this printer was supposed to be u...
Solution:
The only conclusion I came to was "maybe my x-rail was not mounted correctly or something"

Help installing RatOS

When i attempt to flash RatOS onto the SD card, Balena etcher shows the error code attached. Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions to continue with the install?
Solution:
Yeah, it's a known thing at least in the discord. Get an older version on Balena, I think 18.0 is good, and that should work

Webcam no signal

Trying to set up webcams on by minions and for the life of me I cannot get any image to show. I have used combinations of Pi Zero 2W, Pi 4B, Pi camera v3, OV5647. All get the same result - "No Signal on black screen. Fresh installs of RatOS & Crowsnest V4 is installed. Tried ustreamer, camera-streamer, the lot. To me it looks like the webcam service is all ok, just no actual image. ...

RatOS fails to connect to WiFi on reboot

I’m working on adjusting camera settings and as such need to restart frequently. I’d say 60% of the time my pi won’t connect to WiFi again. It creates the RatOS hotspot and I can connect to it. When I do I check the configuration and see the attached error. I can keep restarting and eventually it connects but it’s a bit of a hassle. Any ideas?...

V-Core 4 IDEX VAOC Z-OFFSET error: "Probe triggered prior to movement"

Hello I'm hoping you can help me with a little problem I'm having with the VAOC Z-Offset on my V-Core 4 IDEX. Yesterday, I updated to the latest RatOS version, and today I wanted to print something in IDEX mode. Unfortunately, I got an error message when checking the Z-offset of the extruder: "Probe triggered prior to movement." Everything was working great last week. I tried to readjust everything in the VAOC menu. If I start the Z-offset calibration and press the limit switch with my finger just before the nozzle actuates, the offset procedure runs through. I also tried to experiment with the Z-offset control point in the RatOS variables.cfg, but unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work....

Percentage circle has different percentages in Fluidd and on the Klipper Screen.

As you can see here in a longer print, that there is a difference of 7% in the visualization of the current process status. Do we have an issue here?...

How do I turn off the beacon heat soaking?

I've recently updated to the newest RatOS version and now at the beginning of every print my V-Core does this "Heat soaking beacon..." move where it lifts it's bed really close up to the toolhead while heating the bed up. The thing is, I don't use beacon, I use klicky. So all this procedure does is that it rams the still deployed klicky into the bed surface, damaging it's mount. So, is there an option to turn this off?...

Still having issues with "Probe samples exceed sample_tolerance"

All my belts have good tension according to shaper graphs, and my bed mesh is .116 on my 500. I've also made sure my mag sheet and pei sheet are clean, and the hot end is completely free of filament. I can't tighten my couplers any further. I'm unsure where to go from here. Am I having issues with missed steps on my Z motors? Often times I will get a poke test where the first and second numbers are very similar on the poke test, or even identical to each other, which seems strange....
Solution:
i nuked all my cfg files and started from scratch, zero mechanical changes, and now ratos calibrate is workign and im at the contact mesh point, been running for about 18 minutes now

MERCURY ONE.1 W/Hydra & RatOS Unable to home Z

someone please help me figure this out, I've been at this for days now and I'm about ready to toss it . I'm having trouble with the BLtouch section, i am currently using the BIQU Microprobe and the Manta M8P 2.0 W/ CB1. i get the error "BLTouch failed to verify sensor state" i thought there was a working Microprobe.cfg that could be copied and pasted to the printer.cfg but I'm not having any luck going that route either. I thought i understood the assignment..... clearly i didn't
any and all help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks...

Orbiter Smart Filament Sensor Action Button

RatOS wizard problems

Hi, I started the install wizard with RatOS-v2.0.2, I have Raspberry Pi 4 and Octopus v1.1. The Wi-Fi connected without a problem, but I can't flash the board with the USB-C cable. I read here that I should use RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2. I updated it to this version, and now I can't connect to the wifi or flash the board. How can I solve this? I really don't want to buy a new SD card just to flash the board. Any ideas on how to solve it? Thanks...
Solution:
The jumpers for the fan voltage and for the probe voltage should not matter, I had not removed them either. But I would remove the jumpers for the drivers and try again. Also switch off the Pi. Sequence: Switch everything off Remove the jumpers for the drivers...

Trying to switch a relay for lights with the octopus

I found this reddit post where someone uses the exact same relay module as me and it works. Only thing is his uses marlin. https://www.reddit.com/r/BIGTREETECH/comments/s2b9t5/switch_a_relay_with_the_octopus_v11/ No matter what I do the module is always on. Ive tried 5v rails/ 3v rails. Same outcome always. The weird thing is if I dont plug the input cable in, the relay is off, or if I plug it into an unregisterd pin its also off. But as soon as i register the pin. Its on always. Now i tried with endstop pins [output_pin my_pin]...

Configuration tool doesn't seem to update stepper motor information in RatOS.cfg

I originally installed RatOS v2.1.0-RC 2 on my VCore 3.1-400 with TMC2209s for my X and Y stepper drivers. Everything worked fine and while troubleshooting something else, I ended up replacing the TMC2209's with TMC2226. I powered the system down, installed the new drivers and then brought up the system and then changed the drivers via the Configurator. When double checking everything, I noticed the RatOS.cfg file didn't update with the new driver configuration. I have restarted the system seve...
Solution:
There is no 2226 in klipper, as it's basically just a 2209 in a different package 🙂
