Upgrading From Hybrid To IDEX 2x T0 but no T1 in Setup Wizard
Setup Wizard shows that I have two T0 zero toolboards, but no T1. I'm unable to actually complete the setup wizard as I can't unselect a Z probe from one of the T0 toolheads, and no way to specify the stepper driver for the T1 extruder (only choices are for motor slots on the MCU)
Both the T0 and T1 toolboards are EBB42 connected via USB with jumper to be powered via USB in place right now as I go through the setup wizard. Both are powered, LEDS are on. This was a previously functioning hybrid setup that is being upgraded to IDEX.
Not sure what other information would be helpful, but let me know!

dyocis gave me the answer. Need to restart fresh to get it to work. In the printer selection tab, I clicked on IDEX, then back on Hybrid and it gave me a prompt asking if I wanted to start fresh. Clicked on that, then clicked on IDEX again and got the same prompt, which I again clicked "start fresh." Everything is working appropriately now

Also, while upgrading from Hybrid to IDEX, I ended up with two of the "SAVE_CONFIG - DO NOT EDIT" Sections in my printer.cfg
It kept the old Save Config from the Hybrid, which was the top "SAVE_CONFIG" section. The bottom one was the new one for the IDEX. I deleted the hybrid one.
Also, while upgrading from Hybrid to IDEX, I ended up with two of the "SAVE_CONFIG - DO NOT EDIT" Sections in my printer.cfgThis only happens if you mess up the syntax or add stuff after the config section. RatOS does not generate a klipper save config block, that is exclusively a klipper function. there's no "New one for IDEX", klipper doesn't know anything about your printer.
hmm, not sure what happened then. I don't know it all, but I know enough to not mess with that section
If you've restarted the configurator / saved changes to the wizard less than 5 times there would still be a backup of printer.cfg, can you send me the ones you have? Preferably from the one before you switched to the IDEX config to the one after the 2 sections showed up.
I've deleted the backups at this point :/
Also keep in mind that if you accept changes to printer.cfg it'll override the entire file. It's not possible to duplicate something that wasn't already duplicated.
But if the syntax is borked (let's say you had saved configuration from a section that no longer exists), klipper will just throw a hissy fit the next time you run SAVE_CONFIG and generate a new section without any of your previous stuff. That could be what happened.
That would make sense. It was after PID tuning and hitting the SAVE_CONFIG that I first noticed the problem
Yeah that's when it would generate a new section if it didn't understand (or couldn't find) the old one.
