I want to Update RatOS v2.0.2 to v2.1.0 RC1

Do I need to pull the SD card and reflash it or is there another way?

At this time you need to reflash. We've been informed that once it is out of RC status then it will be an update, I personally could not wait and re-flashed, the features on the 2.1 RC are awesome.

Sweet, Thanks appreciate the response. I just upgraded my V-Core 3.1 300 to the new Toolhead V1.0 with Beacon H and CANBUS. I have 2.0.2 currently installed with everything working except beacon contact so, before I overwrite everything on the card, I figured I'd confirm.

RatOS does not support CANBUS from my understand and due to the limitations of CANBUS vs USB I doubt we will see it. Is there a reason you went down that route vs USB?

Also make sure you update everything after flashing to 2.1RC, there have been a bunch of updates and fixes

I'm using a BTT EBB-42 CAN v1.2 on my toolhead. Is that not a CAN board? I'm guessing you mean that it uses USB as opposed to CAN Hi and Low from the CAN connector eliminating the need for a CAN to USB board.

CAN isn't involved at all when used in RatOS, it's an ancient communication protocol developed for the automotive industry. BTT put that in the name for marketing reasons, after the CAN klipper craze.

So you are saying we CANnot use CAN πŸ™„. USB with the toolboard has been great and just works. Looking forward though to a toolboard manufacture changing over to a small connector like the beacon uses instead of USB C and then screw terminals or something easier than the current big plug for power.

And yeah the connectors need standardization, nitehawk and orbitool has settled on the XT30+2 connectors. For everything that just uses regular usb 2.0 and 5v, the beacon or nozzle cam connectors are ideal imo Beacon uses molex and 3do cams use JST-ZH (if i remember correctly)

It is a slick setup. I just don’t look forward to having to crimp those myself

No those are some tiny bastards At some point, someone's gotta realize they can make a lot of money on precrimped cables in different lengths though πŸ˜„

The 3DO nozzle cam came with spares. I am like hell no. Using the cable as I bought it 3DO does already. Available in 0.5m increments

Did 2.5m for enclosure cam and 1.5m for nozzle cam. High temp really nice usb cables.
