New Build. VCore 4 failed initial Z-Tilt after homing.

Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue trying to get Z-Tilt working on my RatRig V-Core 4 (500mm). I've followed the commissioning guide carefully, but when I try to run Z-Tilt from the Moonraker UI, the process fails. Here's what happens: 1. I home the toolhead (XYZ) successfully.
2. I click the Z-Tilt button in the Moonraker UI.
3. The toolhead moves off the bed toward the endstops.
4. The bed raises to its maximum height.
5. The console throws the error: "No trigger on probe after full movement." What I’ve already checked:
- Beacon probe wiring and polarity – confirmed good
- Probe works fine during regular Z-homing
- Motors and axis directions are correct
- Firmware and config are up to date as of today Any idea what I might be missing? Should I define the parameters in the [z_tilt] section or change anything else in the config? Happy to post logs or full config if needed. Thanks in advance!

step 3 is what worries me, the beacon needs to be over the bed if it is going to read the height. Have you updated ratos > ratos-configurator > the rest ?

yes, i have Everything is up to date and I've checked the printer.cfg which points to the RatOS.cfg. In the [z_tilt] section, it only contains the speed: 300 and that is all.

If you open your klippy.log, you can see the full config, constructed from all the includs. See what the z_tilt section there has

Ok, Ive cecked and this is what it states: " [z_tilt] z_positions = 0,0 250,500 500,0 points = 30,30 250,460 470,30 horizontal_move_z = 20 retries = 10 retry_tolerance = 0.02 speed = 300 "

that seems about right, not sure. Maybe ssh in and run ratos doctor, see if it finds and fixes anything with the z-tilt macro?

it's asking for a password

Unless you've changed it, it's probably still the default Pi password of 'raspberry' When you manually move your T0 toolhead to 0,0; where does it sit?

It's off the bed and the Y motor stutters as if it's tryi ng to pull pass the end stop

Yeh ok, something is wrong Maybe upload your printer.cfg and ratos.cfgs here

Yes. I have verified the endstops.

I ended up reflashing my raspberry pi and starting over and that did the trick. I still don't know what the overall issue was but seriously thank you for the assistance!
