For this error, I think it has something to do with the fact that my VAOC camera isn't in the correct position since I am using a different camera and Z endstop Is there any way for me to change the coordinates for camera and endstop?

I'm also getting this error, which I do not know what it means

I also don't know how to choose which toolhead I'm using with orca slicer, and I can't find information on that Also, the increase_y_max command doesn't work

this is for the expected camera position, put this in your printer.cfg

[gcode_macro _VAOC]
variable_expected_camera_x_position: 162.5
variable_expected_camera_y_position: 430.5

[gcode_macro _VAOC]
variable_expected_camera_x_position: 162.5
variable_expected_camera_y_position: 430.5

this is for the endstop offset, measured from the camera center

z_offset: -5            # probe height, used to limit the probe z-move
y_offset: 0             # probe y-offset, measured from the camera center
x_offset: 37            # probe x-offset, measured from the camera center

z_offset: -5            # probe height, used to limit the probe z-move
y_offset: 0             # probe y-offset, measured from the camera center
x_offset: 37            # probe x-offset, measured from the camera center

call _VAOC_RESET after making these changes

Got it Thanks

Oh yeah. When I try to use beacon scan compensation mesh, it says that it's disabled

Helge Keck•5mo ago

then enable it

Ooh thanks

Helge Keck•5mo ago

also, dont use this feature right now we are working on a much improved version, should be available soon

kaninOP•5mo ago

Hmm I think the guide im following is outdated

Helge Keck•5mo ago

update ratos

kaninOP•5mo ago

Can't do that right now bc no wifi where it's at, but I'll do it TMR and try again

kaninOP•5mo ago

Does this also have something to do with ratos not being upto date

kaninOP•5mo ago

It's saying movement out of range every time I try to calibrate Z offset But the coordinates on screen are totally within range And I can manually jog it there too

Helge Keck•5mo ago

please change this to -7

Helge Keck•5mo ago

also please update ratos and everything

kaninOP•5mo ago

Thanks for all the help today!

kaninOP•5mo ago

It was already -7 and I tried -10 and still no, but I'll try again after I can update everything

Helge Keck•5mo ago

try to run INCREASE_Y_MAX and try again

kaninOP•5mo ago

But still get this when I try to do Z offset

kaninOP•5mo ago

This also seems fine

kaninOP•5mo ago

I think when I tell it to do Z offset, it wants to do T0 first but T1 is in the way or something

- share your debug.zip file - enable debug mode with ENABLE_DEBUG - reproduce error - share console output

kaninOP•5mo ago

ratos-debug.zip

kaninOP•5mo ago

console.txt

kaninOP•5mo ago

Okay. I figured it out My Z offset probe is too far to the right So The T0 toolhead will collide with the T1 toolhead if it goes there I just gotta increase the distance between toolheads when it does the VAOC and toolshift thing Oh yeah. VAOC flip 180 degrees, but can it rotate camera
