weird camera and mainsail behavior

i'm not even sure where the best place to ask about this is, but... with my xmas gift print sprint recently, my nozzle cam (3DO v1) stopped working, and the web cam (logitech c930) started misbehaving. The c930 experiences a lot of dropped frames. the 3DO shows up on USB but doesn't seem to send any frames back from the camera. I have disconnected the 3DO and removed the CPU affinity mods detailed by CrashTestCharlie, but that didn't change anything....

Fan runs at 100% no matter what

I recently added a EBB42 toolboard to my printer (I wish I didn't) and my parts cooling fan runs at 100% even after boot up. (I did redo the configurator and started fresh) I have read the documentation on connecting a 4028 fan and it worked fine before the toolboard. I have double checked the wiring and all connections are going where they need to go. Black and red run to the octopus and the pwm runs to the toolboard. Without inverting the fan logic or any new code for the fan, The fan works bu...

Firmware SHUTDOWN: MCU fried?

Hello everyone, After a few weeks I booted my VC3.1 again and now it crashes when I try anything (homing, heating up, etc.). Also, the 4028 fan no longer starts at 100% when booting up, which it used to do. I have had an Octopus 1.1 installed since October 2021 and never had such problems. Could it be that the MCU is defective? How should I proceed with troubleshooting?...

Unable to read tmc uart

On my V Core 4 IDEX I am unable to get past the "BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION" step. I get the error: Unable to read tmc uart 'dual carriage' register IFCNT. :sadpepe: On the Klipper3d.org site I found this: "This occurs when Klipper is unable to communicate with a tmc2208 or tmc2209 driver.

mcu 'mcu': Unable to connect

I got this error this morning when starting my Vcore 500. I'm seriously a novice, so don't know where to start troubleshooting. I did update my RATOS Configuration Repository last night and seemed to restart OK, but didn't really monkey with it. Could that be a cause and if so, how do I go back to the previous config? Thanks,
Solution:
Just fyi for those that have the same issue, I ended up flashing a new SD card and reloading into the raspberry pi and going through updates again.

Idex upgrade, "ADC out of range" - is there something wrong with my Rapido?

Hi, not sure if correct section to ask this, but here goes (please be kind on me for not finding anything by searching and using wrong names on stuff, I'm trying my best as a noob :-P). I got my hybrid to IDEX kit from Rat Rig and have a problem with "ADC out of range" on the new Rapido. I noticed that the new one is different from my old one, but not sure if this is a fault or a design change. ...
Solution:
Silly me actually managed to switch the wires on the hotend (thermistor and heating element). I belive myself lucky not to break anything, after I got it sorted everything works fine....

VCore 4 500 IDEX Homing shakes the printer violently

The end stop works (see clip 1), but when in the home position the printer starts to shake violently (see clip 2).

Ok, my bad. The motor for the second toolhead got mixed up with the right Y motor in the setup.

V4 idex z offset issue

Hello, I need some advise. Im getting terrible z offset cal, between 0.17 and 0.175. I have checked everything and disassembled both heads, twice. Also swapped nozzle, because why not. I havent done what ratrig suggested, to use a shim as a last resort. But as far as i understand, this is only important if i use copy/mirror mode correct? For dual filament its ok? I dont think ill ever use copy/mirror mode. Should i bother to make it close to 0 as possible? What are the downsides of using a shim as a spacer?...

V-Core 3.1 PT1000 ADC out of range (toolboard fault, unknown cause)

I just finished a rather large print. When I was taking it off the bed, the extruder thermistor stopped working and showing the temperature is -255 degrees. I replaced the thermistor with another same PT1000, but it is still showing the same readings. After some investigation, I found the following readings were possible, but non within range: PT1000 connected: -255 degrees No thermistor connected: 878 degrees 104NT-4 connected: -252 degrees...

First layer prints fine then Extruder stops working

Hello, I just finished building my v4 500 Hybrid and tried printing my first print, the first layer prints real nice but mid second layer the extruder stops working properly. I marked the face of the shaft of the extruder with some sharpi and I can see that it only jerks back and forth not even a quarter of a rotation. I tried OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer changing the printer settings in both of them and even printing different stl files, no change so far. Any help would be mutch appreciated.😅

How to test the VOAC LED ring?

How do we test the IDEX LED board? Just 5V to the board or do we need a signal to turn them on? The camera and endstop are working, but I can't get the LEDs to come on. 😕...

Pwm on nidec ??

Does someone was able to get the pwm working on the nidec ? I know that the pwm is the blue on the nidec . That the doc is totally misleading. I've followed the documentation on the 4028 form ratirig page .setup the jumper on 5v on cncfan , adjusted the name of the pin for the octopus wiring based on their shema. I've adjusted the config and the wire so it doesn't blow at start or when the fan bar is at 0%. But as soon I add some percentage it full blow. It s like aon/ off for the moment?...
