Beacon Help
Ok, so I have the Beacon installed and running to the PI , the red light comes on the board when triggered , I just don't know what to do in printer config or where to start as I don't see the Beacon as a option in printer config to be selected, just further in the Ratos file under z-probes, sorry don't know what I am doing on this one TIA!!!!

Update Rat-OS and use the new template

Yeah I don't have line 96 in my config and am running RatOS
v2.x: v2.0.2-10-g7e4431a with nothing else to update
add it. Make sure everything [probe] and [bltouch] is commented out. Then run beacon calibration and you're good to go 🙂
Do I add it right there or further down where I have always been told to save changes? Thanks
Either will work, but i'd stick to the same place as the original template 🙂
Thanks that is working, now I realized though I need different screws to mount the beacon as the cap heads are to big and drop below the nozzle, so hoping my work has some low profile m3's
So now I get Move out of range: 20.000 -7.000 2.000 [0.000] when doing mesh calibrate. I saw where you mentioned to someone else that had the same thing happen to put
[bed_mesh]
mesh_min: 20,30
mesh_max:365,330
But where do I put this, I put it in user area nothing happens , I put it right under the beacon probe part on line 96, still nothing , I also have a 400
it should be in useroverrides
Post your printer.cfg
should be [include RatOS/z-probe/beacon.cfg]. Besides that, this looks correct to me, please make sure you're not getting a different error from the one you posted.
Yeah thats what it looks like in the read only file, and every time I run BEACON
MESH_CALIBRATE it comes up with above error still
I don't understand what you mean by this. Don't copy paste the contents, include the file.
That makes no sense, are you sure you're doing a firmware_restart after saving the config?
And are you sure you're not editing a printer.cfg backup?
The only thing I have altered is on line 96 where you said to add the Beacon option earlier yesterday. I just rebooted but going to shut it down and restart it again and see if that does anything as my printer config that I showed you is the only thing I have altered.
Aah i see it, delete this then:
So deleted saved restarted and still same error
During BED_MESH_CALIBRATE ?
Send your klippy.log
(the actual file, don't copy paste 😄 )
