[VC3.1-400][ratos 2.1.0-RC2] Do I have to restart from scratch?
Yesterday I put the 2.1.0-RC2 ratos installer on my Pi and followed the setup instructions. I successfully got the Pi to connect to my WiFi network. Next, the Pi successfully detected my Octopus and flashed the firmware onto it. After that the webclient asked me to choose my Extruder, Thermistor, Fan, etc. which I did.
So I believe I am now at the step where I go to the Update Manager and update the RatOS package. But there is no RatOS entry in my Update Manager.
As you can probably tell I am not really a software guy and this is my first time working with a Pi. At this point is it safe for me to connect all my steppers, fans, etc. to my Octopus? How do I know if I have made any mistakes so far?

Probably should have done the updates before hooking up the octopus, but no worries.
Are you able to ssh into the pi?
Yes I am able to
Try
ratos doctor
Thanks Tik π«‘ Will give it a go tonight
@TheTik
Try these lines, one at a time
Im assuming it will be safe for me to use
git pull
at this time
Should I use git pull? @TheTiktry it...
I'm less familiar with git than MDFP, but enough to know you should be safe to run it in this situation π
hmmmm
Try this, line by line:
ssh to the machine
cd printer_data/config/RatOS
git fetch origin
git checkout -b v2.1.x origin/v2.1.x
sudo ./scripts/ratos-update.sh
cd ~/ratos-configurator
git fetch origin
git checkout -b v2.1.x-deployment origin/v2.1.x-deployment
sudo ./scripts/update.sh
sudo systemctl restart ratos-configurator
sudo systemctl restart klipper
sudo systemctl restart moonraker
wow... something very wrong
I sugest reflashing the sd
okay I will do that
Thank you MDFP
can you send cd printer_data
cd config
no wait
oh, right. Sorry, was thinking they were in a different directory than home
probably it needs the RatOS
printer_data SHOULD be there
yep, also config and RatOS
cd printer_data
does existsystem is gone...
uhhhhh so restart yeah?
base klipper is damaged AF
okay
I will reflash now
Alright I have reflashed the Pi. The Pi detected my Octopus v1.1, and I was prompted to select my hotend, extruder, etc. I completed that step, and now it prompted me to go to this page: https://os.ratrig.com/docs/configuration/#initial-configuration
(I still have not connected any of my steppers, probes, endstops, etc.)
Should I be updating my ratOS first, or follow the instructions on that page first?
@TheTik
Grabbing my notes here
Thank you sir
Everything is all green, so I will proceed with the steps you have shown

π
??? sorry, I don't understand. I have already completed that step
you missed the yellow line?
ohhh i understand now, thanks
hehe
no problem
I have gotten to step 14. Everything in the update manager is "up-to-date" now, so am I clear to start connecting all my steppers, fans, etc?
If you're not seeing any errors, you're good to connect stuff π
Thanks!!
Uhhh oops, one more question: since I did my Octopus firmware entirely through WiFi, the SD cardslot on the Octopus serves no purpose now right?
Correct, once the octopus has firmware it doesn't need an sd card.
Got the same error when updating everything in stead of ratos firstπ
Got the same as well, but followed the instruction, first RatOs, then configuration, then everything else.
The issue at my side was that Klipper was not updated completely so the sweeping vibration generate was not yet implemented.
After updating Klipper (again) everything worked
