random klipper errors

[noohnak]

I can not get klipper with mainsail to run without giving me error code after error code. seemingly random. first it was please specify pin for probe. then after restart it was no pin assigned for probe etc.

[noohnak]

oh then after all errors are fixed or fix themselves mcu wont connect. if i delete all the config related to BDsensor it works fine connects and everything

[ManuelPeiro]

What board are you connecting it to... a BlTouch connector?

[noohnak]

a spider v2.2 and the bltouch pins

[markniu]

check the section name [BDsensor] and the first two word is capitalize, other words are lower case

[noohnak]

klipper: ERROR Unknown pin chip name 'probe'

[markniu]

klipper: ERROR Unknown pin chip name 'probe'

that means the klipper can't find the probe section(E.g. bltouch, probe, BDsensor ...), here we use BDsensor as probe so check the name of [BDsensor]

[noohnak]

its all correct still having unknown pin chip name 'probe'

[noohnak]

is there maybe a file im missing

[markniu]

you can send me([email protected]) or share the klippy.log file.

[noohnak]

klippy (1).log

[markniu]

is there a file BDsensor.py in the path:/home/pi/klipper/klippy/extras ?

[markniu]

you can run this command in the ssh to check if there is a file BDsensor.py ls ~/klipper/klippy/extras/BDsensor.py -l

[noohnak]

there was no file in that path.

[markniu]

there was no file in that path.

that means the patch code of BDsensor for klippy was not installed or not successful, did you run the python ~/Bed_Distance_sensor/klipper/install_BDsensor_patch.py after git clone the patch code ? or run again and to see if it is installed successful?

it's moonraker viewing Klipper as "dirty" you're hitting update after setup, and Klipper/Klippy via moonraker auto cleans maker out and removes everything added "after" so the manual addition of BDsensor is being cleansed. you have to re-install BDsensor and avoid hitting refresh on the moonraker updates, either remove Klipper from the update check or just reinstall after each update ignoring when it simply says it's "dirty".

What I did was added BDsensor repo to the update-manager to track and make it easy to reinstall whenever Klipper has an update, not sure if it's possible it have it ignore the BDsensor add on installed into Klippy but this is as far as I've gotten for what stare d off a very puzzling repeating error and reinstall thinking i did something wrong... which I guess sort of did but hope this helps you cause otherwise BDsensor works great with Klipper and moonsail is hands down 10x better with it all!

• BDsensor new: 1 commit available

• Klipper v0.11.0-304-gf7567a0d-dirty instead of v0.11.0-304-gf7567a0d

this is what will appear along wiht something like whats written below and offering to hard or soft fix it for you...

Repo is dirty. Detected the following modifed files: ['scripts/buildcommands.py', 'src/Makefile']

so either just ignore this if the version number is the same that it wants to clean/update to or better solution my current ignore solution

• KlipperScreen v0.3.6-65-g4a14962d
• mainsail v2.8.0
• mobileraker v0.4.0-29-g5a4cae4a
• moonraker v0.8.0-188-ga71c5c15
• moonraker-obico v1.5.1-0-g3ed711f5
• System OS-Packages

So as mentioned, I added the BDsensor to moonraker.cfg to update the install after/when I get Klipper updates, accidently clean it, or otherwise when needed to put it back quickly and easily, usually when the error you see, "Probe" yadda yadda yadda. Plus this lets me know if changes have been made to BDsensor as well.

I just copied how KlipperScreen wanted me to set up the updates for it.

[update_manager KlipperScreen]
type: git_repo
path: ~/KlipperScreen
origin: https://github.com/jordanruthe/KlipperScreen.git
env: ~/.KlipperScreen-env/bin/python
requirements: scripts/KlipperScreen-requirements.txt
install_script: scripts/KlipperScreen-install.sh
managed_services: KlipperScreen

Just added it like this to the bottom of the file.

[update_manager BDsensor]
type: git_repo'
path: ~/Bed_Distance_sensor'
origin: https://github.com/markniu/Bed_Distance_sensor.git'
primary_branch: new'
install_script: klipper_Beta/install_BDsensor.sh 

Hope this helps :)
