Output pins seem to have changed after updating to RatOS 2.1

This was the configuration of my daylight leds on previous version. On the latest version only the left LED goes on and the right one does weird behaviour, seems to illuminate sometimes when the printer is doing things.

Solution

now today with tinkering on the rpi to resolve the voltage issues those damn dupont connectors came loose and without thinking I plugged it into PD12 again instead of PD14

What board did you select in the configurator?

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 8:02 PM

the octopus v1.1

while printing the led goes on, after print it seems to go off

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 8:27 PM

when I start homing it also goes on

Are you sure the power jumper is set correctly? Also are you sure you're not just frying those poor fan mosfets by running LED's on them?

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:12 PM

I never had any issues with them, they run on 24v so the amps shouldn't be too high I would think

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:13 PM

I also always ran them at half the power

in any case, RatOS can't change pins on your board.

miklschmidt•6/18/24, 10:32 PM

PD14 and PD13 is PD14 and PD13

@AsicResistor do you have any macro's defined for controlling those leds?

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:39 PM

No, all I had to do previously was add that to my printer.cfg and the sliders appeared in mainsail automatically

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:42 PM

That's why it seems like a software thing to me, it is very systematically that the right led strip goes on when I start a print and goes off when the print is done

Yeah then there's nothing from RatOS influencing it, it's all down to electronics and manual configuration unfortunately.

miklschmidt•6/18/24, 10:44 PM

RatOS has LED macro's that you may have inadvertently half overwritten, that's why i asked, but if you're not using any macro's that's not the case.

If it's a software thing it's a klipper thing

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:48 PM

I found out what was wrong

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:49 PM

I previously used PD12 because it was the first port available on the board

AsicResistor_OP•6/18/24, 10:49 PM

but when I put that in the config klipper gave me a warning that a system function uses that port and cannot be used for anything else

hahaha so your leds were acting like your controller fan
