Octopus not recognised
Hi all,
as I have flashed RatOS and the Firmware on Octopus the Octopus is still not recognised. So Klipper ist not connected.
Is anyone here who knows what to do?
Kind regards,
Hermann

How did you verify that the octopus was flashed?

The letters after the Firmware file have changed.
It is not .bin anymore.
when you ssh into the pi and run
lsusb what does it return?genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Sorry. I do not know what you mean.
ssh is how you connect to your raspberry pi on the command line. You then need to run the command lsusbgenetic-orangeOP•2y ago
ok. It returns mcu: unable to connect. I tried with to different cables.
No, that is not what
lsusb will output. Copy and paste the outputgenetic-orangeOP•2y ago

sorry he talks German...
He does not know the command
@mitsuma or @Helge Keck maybe one of you can help? lsusb should be installed by default on Rat-OS
herman, where did you entered the lsusb command?
also, please share a screenshot of the terminal output

your ssh didnt work and you tried to run lusb local
just get a better ssh client like putty and properly connect to the pi

ok friends, thank you for your help. It seems my knowledge is far a way from ok. I even do not undestand what you tell me. I will try another way. But really thank you very much!
you jsut need enter
ssh [email protected]
then you will be connected to our pi
the blue window is ok, this works from there as well
it will ask for a password
enter raspberryFor reference guys, there's no reason to send people through SSH before asking if the configurator detected the board.
That's why it's there, to solve these board issues without teaching people command line stuff.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
ok. so there is a way for people like me? Who don´t know much about programming?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Thanks. But that is what I did!
And does it say it's detected or not?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Hi guys, sorry for my late response! But as ma father was ill and actually died on saturday other things were more important.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
As I start the printer now I have two issues. On Mainsail:
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
And on configuration:
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
I already changed the Octopus, but still it is not recogniced.
Do you have any ideas?
my condolences.
adc_out of range happens when a thermistor is not plugged in or has other issues
The error you're getting means klipper is communicating with the board, so you're good on that front.
Also, my condolences.
Please start your own post
Gotcha.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Ok. As I wired everything now I still have the same issues. Can anyone explain waht to do next? Thanks so much!
I still have the same issuesADC out of range or something else?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Yes
I would double check your thermistor wires
as was explained before, ADC out of range is a thermistor not being connected, having connection issues or being wrongly configured sensor type
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
I checkes them a few times. I do no not see any problems. And now it changes
what kind of thermistor are you using?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
At the Heatbed it is the RatRig Standard. And for the Hotned it is a PT100 Sensor.
did you change your config to match you are using a PT100?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
No. Do I News to do this??? And If yes: HOW? 🙄🫣
1) is it a PT100 or PT1000? A PT100 needs an amplifier, while the 1000 doesn't
2) which port did you plug the thermistor into?
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Hi blacksmithforlife. It is a PT100. What kind of amplifier and where can I buy it?
2. I took the standard port as shown in the RatRig wiring guide.
you can search for
pt100 amplifier but honestly it is probably easier to just replace it with a different thermistor (like a pt1000 or just a generic 3950)genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Ok. I will buy one and try it. Thank you very much! Which thermistor can I buy without changing things?
for a PT1000 you just need to change the sensor type in config
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
OK. In printer.cfg?
yes, as an user override
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
OK. I will have a try!
Thank you so much!
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
?
just add
it is what I do
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
OK. How great would it be, If things work now. With some interrupting I am on that issue since beginning of April now.
But do I need to write [extruder] or [hotend]?
extruder
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
ok. Wish to have you guys´ brain... I am highly impressed.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Guys!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
