RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

Sounds good. On the first few prints I made sure my nozzle tip was clean and the process seemed to work well. On the last print I didn't pay attention and it felt like I got too much squish, but the print is still running. However, if there was filament in the way, wouldn't it have too little squish? I also haven't done the expansion compensation for the nozzle and bed temp I'm running, which is 120C on the bed and 270C or 310C on the nozzle, so I'll do that next. I'm pretty novice, so take all my thoughts/opinions/questions with a grain of salt. I do appreciate the help though! You guys are doing great work.

After starting another print, I'm still slightly confused. Maybe I'm too abstracted away from the startup sequence. It seems like it does a nozzle contact before the mini-blob procedure? I was thinking it would be the other way around?

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

I guess I'm seeing an explanation that there is a wipe that occurs at some point that should clean the tip before the step that needs it removed (calibration?). Seems like that should be in the documentation, I have a feeling I'm not the only person that will be worried about it and if it is already handled, some clear documentation would ease the nerves.

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

With Beacon Contact needing to have a clean nozzle to work correctly, is it going to become common to have some way or automating cleaning the nozzle on RatRigs? I've seen stationary wire brush and servo + wire brush solutioin on other machines, I assume something like this is needed?

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

Also is this all I need to set to adjust the y offset for the Beacon? Previously I had to also set the serial property and I also had mesh_main_direction and mesh_runs.

[beacon]
x_offset: 0
y_offset: 30.15

[beacon]
x_offset: 0
y_offset: 30.15

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

I'm also super happy to see that with these new RatOS changes, things seem to be backward compatible. I've been adjusting my z on almost every print, so I'm hoping Beacon Contact will help.

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

I was also having an issue with one z motor, turns out the connector wasn't fully plugged in. I'm guessing it has wiggled some over time. Things seem better now. I'm currently running through BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE.

I just realized I left the power supply for the control board off. I wasn't wanting to listen to the part cooling fan during setup. Oof.

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

Something super weird is going on. When I leave color_order to default (GRB) at a chain_length of 30 things work fine; but if I increase the chain_length by too much or switch color_order to GRBW, I just into an error saying Lost communication with MCU 'mcu'. This previously worked fine before I upgraded from RatOS v1.x.

Would be nice if there was an option on the https://os.ratrig.com/docs for 2.1.x with something at the top denoting that the docs are not complete.

Looks like maybe here. Branch is 2.1.x and there is a docs folder. https://github.com/Rat-OS/RatOS/tree/v2.1.x/site/docs

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

I had started updating my printer.cfg with adding just the neopixel section from my previous config. This immediately broke, which led me to ask here. I'll go back through the neopixel documentation which seems to be here: https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html?h=temper#neopixel

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

Maybe I'm missing some other configuration that I don't remember previously setting up. I assume this:

[mcu host]
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

[mcu host]
serial: /tmp/klipper_host_mcu

RatOS-v2.1.0-RC2 How do I set configuration that is not included in the "Configurator"?

I assume the answer is updating the printer.cfg as we did previously? For some reason as soon as I add my neopixel config:

[neopixel my_neopixel]
pin: PB0
chain_count: 90
color_order: GRBW
initial_RED: 0.0
initial_GREEN: 0.0
initial_BLUE: 0.0
initial_WHITE: 1

[neopixel my_neopixel]
pin: PB0
chain_count: 90
color_order: GRBW
initial_RED: 0.0
initial_GREEN: 0.0
initial_BLUE: 0.0
initial_WHITE: 1

I get "Lost communication with MCU 'mcu'"
