Communication timeout during homing

So getting this awful annoying fault quite regular atm. Faults on probing Z with Beacon. Happens 1 in every 2 Z probes. Supper annoying. The beacon seems to be working fine I can get it to z tilt and mesh but then the next job there is 50/50 itl throw this . Changed to running direct 5v to the Pi with the 4 gpio pins, 15a available. Tried unplugging the nozzle cam and got no difference. Happens on both my printers with beacon, not sure what to do next. Any help appreciated

Started having this issue as well. Swapped new cable and new beacon, still having the same issue.

It was working fine for the past few months, the issue started few days ago.

Pretty sure that isn't adjustable and is in the klipper source code

I fixed it by getting rid of my nozzle cam. seems like a Pi3 isnt powerful enough for both Beacon and a Camera. either or works fine on its own

I found this but i could not find any of the same functions. /usr/share/klipper/klippy/mcu.py if it put it in the config file like this: [mcu] TRSYNC_TIMEOUT 0.050 its not acepted

it is changing it in the actual klipper code - nothing to do with ratos https://github.com/rootiest/zippy-klipper_config/blob/master/scripts/mcu_timing.sh#L68
