Beacon Contact on RatOS 2.0.x

Is Beacon contact supported on RatOS 2.0.x? I have attempted to add the printer.cfg options to set the homing type, etc - per Beacon documentation. I am met with a Klipper error stating that the variables are not options in [beacon] section.

I added those variables in your beacon section and I get the klipper error. Will I need the variables in the section for the RatOS macro?

add all these line and resonance_tester part too home_method: contact home_method_when_homed: proximity # defaults to home_method value home_autocalibrate: unhomed [resonance_tester] accel_chip_x: beacon accel_chip_y: beacon probe_points: 147,130,20 i would try that too i think this is the one that conflict somewhere variable_beacon_contact_z_homing: False but really i dont know, all i know it works now

what version of RatOS are you running? I added the beacon settings and RatOS variables. I still get errors. What versions of FW are required in RatOS and beacon? I have the beacon FW at 2.1, the becon SW at 2.0.0-20. I am running RatOS 2.0.2-36. Are these compatible? Or, is the contact beacon not supported until RatOS 2.1?

you probably want to ask in #beacon-contact but from what I remember no it was not
