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.

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?
the octopus v1.1
while printing the led goes on, after print it seems to go off
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? 😅
I never had any issues with them, they run on 24v so the amps shouldn't be too high I would think
I also always ran them at half the power
in any case, RatOS can't change pins on your board.
PD14 and PD13 is PD14 and PD13
@AsicResistor do you have any macro's defined for controlling those leds?
No, all I had to do previously was add that to my printer.cfg and the sliders appeared in mainsail automatically
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.
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
I found out what was wrong
I previously used PD12 because it was the first port available on the board
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

yeah that's the controller fan
hahaha so your leds were acting like your controller fan 😂
well that explains a lot
Don't you have any driver cooling? Or are you using an always on fan?
I'm running without any driver cooling 😅
i really recommend cooling those!
just in case (also extends their life)
Now that you mention it, I've worked with them in the past and they do get toasty
also non-performance mode is just so slow
Waaaait
That's all it takes to unlock performance mode?
Yes
I thought I needed cooled stepper motors
🥲
nooooooooo
This is great news haha
😅
I feel like I got a next generation printer upgrade in one day, what is this 🥳
