VAOC T1 x not lining up

I'm stuck. I line the two tool heads up in the VAOC config but then when it comes time to calibrate the z offsets T1 on the x doesn't line up with the probe. It's about 10mm off on the x. When I try to start over I get "Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _VAOC_CALIBRATE_TEMP_OFFSET:gcode': gcode.CommandError: Unexpected VAOC y-control point detected! Please run '_VAOC_RESET' to roll back to default values" Also when I start the config the gantry hits the back of the machine. I think it's about 1mm off
Solution:
update everything, run _VAOC_RESET again.

So I figured it out but leaving the post up for others. You can change the y control point under Ratrig varables. When the gantry was hitting the back it was moving the heads out of alignment. I think Ratrig should change the default y control point to something lower It's set to 533 on the 500, I changed it to 531

This seems like a problematic y endstop installation or no endstop limits calibration. the y control point won't be your only issue y-control point on all v-core 4's is size + 30.5 btw Not 533, but 530.5 on a 500.

the controlpoint variables change when you align the nozzle in VAOC. So you set it to 533 yourself

Maybe I messed something up on my first try and it registered it 533 in the ratos_varables. Where the saved varables section you just posted You wold think it would go back to default when doing a VAOC_reset

VAOC reset? You're changing the values saved to disk. The defaults are no longer there when you've told it where your nozzle is (by dragging the picture). AFAIK there's no "reset".

it was in an error message so I did _VAOC_RESET
miklschmidt
miklschmidtβ€’3mo ago
I see it in your message now, missed that part.. It doesn't exist in the code, did you get another error when you ran that? @Helge Keck Are we supposed to have a _VAOC_RESET?

I kept getting that message and couldn't try again until I sent that command

Jesus.. i was looking in the wrong codebase πŸ˜‚ I see what's going on now
miklschmidt
miklschmidtβ€’3mo ago
And they're only set when you run _VAOC_RESET

mystery solved, it seems to be working now

Removing those variables from the static config and putting the into the configurator so they'll always have the correct values.

where do I find the static config? Is that the file that says ratos_varables
miklschmidt
miklschmidtβ€’3mo ago
by static config i mean this repository: https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS-configuration

the configurator dynamically renders RatOS.cfg and ratos_variables.cfg (and others)

Thanks, found it

And by "remove" (typo) i meant "removing" as in "i'm removing" You don't need to do anything πŸ™‚ Other than update Just pushed the fixes
spacebaby0695
spacebaby0695OPβ€’3mo ago
I did the update and the first thiing I got was this " Error evaluating 'gcode_macro _START_VAOC:gcode': gcode.CommandError: Unexpected VAOC x-control point detected! Please run '_VAOC_RESET' to roll back to default values."

Did you update the configurator as well? It takes a few minutes to compile so you may have been a tiny bit too fast πŸ˜…
spacebaby0695
spacebaby0695OPβ€’3mo ago
I'll do that now, thanks
Helge Keck
Helge Keckβ€’3mo ago
yes, why?
spacebaby0695
spacebaby0695OPβ€’3mo ago
I did the updates and now I'm getting this "Option 'gcode' in section 'gcode_macro VAOC' must be specified"

miklschmidtβ€’3mo ago
I found out i was just being a dumb dumb and looking in the wrong repository πŸ˜‚ omg sec Hmmm. Can you post a debug zip please? ah it's _VAOC :facepalm: @spacebaby0695 update compiling, ready in 10. Sorry, that was stupid... again πŸ˜‚

Solution

update everything, run _VAOC_RESET again.
miklschmidt
miklschmidtβ€’3mo ago
then redo VAOC calibration

Ok that worked, thank you! And when I have them on target I just exit?
