RAT OS 2.1 RC1 Homing Issue
Fresh Install of Rat Os 2.0 , verify motor directions and endstops. Home X and Y and the printer PUSHES the Z up into the nozzle when homing Y and X (Which is the opposite function of RATOS2.0 to reduce hitting extruder before homing Z) . Then it says 'no beacon model found' when trying to home Z. So to use the Z i need to calibrate_beacon, but when I calibrate Z it says out of range when trying to save the beacon profile.
What I did , fresh install 2.0 , verify everything motion, then i updated using the update manager, then tried to home. So maybe the update broke something. Picture for the LOL.

The bed shouldn't go up when homing so it sounds like the Z needs to be reversed.
I thought so too! However if i set it to kinematic, and go Z down , it goes down!
Also goes up if it goes up
"Z down" is very ambiguous. If you click the "z down" it will decrease Z which means bring the bed closer to the nozzle. That default mainsail behavior. Remember you're in upside down land compared to something like a bed slinger.
DAMMIT, USER ERRROR!
Im so emberassed
It happens, I've done it myself
Don't be, unfortunately it happens.. The mental overhead of the toolhead command panel is heavy.
Its been so long since ive had to configure from scratch
The only real way to avoid accidents is to make sure things can't fail before you've had a chance to hit the emergency stop. It's one of the reasons the SET_CENTER_KINEMATIC_POSITION is used by centering all axes.
Im so emberassed I just sent a one time sponsor...
Hahaha i appreciate it, but be safe now! 😅
@miklschmidt funny you should say that...literally happened like 5 minutes before you said that.
Forgot to set the endstop so rushed to turn the printer off so it wouldnt crash
:/
Ouch
I've done this more times than i'd like to admit. Stupid slippery floors.
there's an emergency button in mainsail, just hit that instead then you don't have to run 😄
Will do next time, totally forgot about that!
Until you hit it.... And the printer keeps going cause it hasn't registered the command :FLASHBANG:
Now has fancy cat outline on wham bam sheet
Lol
Well im leaving the emberassing scratch and video up , and having an update. IT WORKS!
Just completed my first full auto_beacon_calibration
Im working up the courage to attempt it currently
My advice, have two SD cards, saved your printer config, remember motor directions, and prepare to troubleshoot the becaon
had to do two clean OS installs for it to work
I don't use SD cards. NVME drive
I just hate when sd cards cease to be sd cards
Don't feel bad, I did it too...
If only they would rotate the damn Z arrows for non bed slingers in mainsail we wouldn't have this issue 😤ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¤ðŸ˜
They don't even have to change any code , just rotate the icons 180°
You can set it in the settings, I had done that and forgot about it. I also had a backup of my printer.cfg and didn't think to look until it was too late.
