BTT Octopus V1.1 - Klipper Configuration

[@mistertitus6814]

I love long winded and thoroughly explained tutorials. Yes, some may just want the simple info and click here and do that and viola, it's done without any thinking. i much prefer this format. Thank you for this.

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thanks.

[@mihaiciornei5648]

Man ... so I'm speechless. These tutorials are the simplest and easiest to find on KZbin. Thanks a lot.

[@EdwardBraiman]

You're welcome.

[@moccaloto]

Watching your videos have *really* helped me get my octopus 1.1 up and running with sensorless tmc2209s. Thank you!

[@EdwardBraiman]

You're welcome.

[@GreySectoid]

For anyone using these instructions currently, do note that the newer Octopus V1.1 boards come with STM32F407 chip, so remember to check the correct one from the firmware config.

[@Mikehatespigs]

I'm pretty sure that's the chip recommended for reprap I just ordered a 1.1 a few months ago and then a pro just came in today and both have the stm32f446f446zet6.... however your comment still stands true in the fact that you need to select the right chip no matter what. I was gonna order the newest one but being the first they put out like it im not comfortable yet and the pro should serve my vz bot just fine

[@EdwardBraiman]

The video is over a year old.

[@angelriosmorales4687]

Amazing, sooo helpful. Now I'm dealing with this: 03:11:46 Shutdown due to M112 command Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the "FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the config, and restart the host software. Printer is shutdown Tomorrow will re-watch and start again to see if i missed something.

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thank you.

[@egorcik1]

I have same error too. Can find solution

[@LM-cc7qz]

Hey, I just figured out my issue, go into the settings and on the serial connection settings page click the behaviour tab and change disconnect from printer to "cancel any ongoing prints but stay connected" and hit save. This fixed it for me, also I don't think Ed's 3d tech understood the question.

[@LM-cc7qz]

Wait, Also ensure that you chose the correct MCU for your Octopus Motherboard, It turns out on mine I had a 429 MCU instead of the one he shows in the video, so when you run the make menuconfig choose the 429. This was indicated by a blinking light on my board when I had the incorrect firmware installed and it becoming solid after installing the correct firmware.

[@EdwardBraiman]

Unfortunately after making tutorials they added more processors.

[@radicalxedward8047]

Man I’m so glad I looked this up. Very easy to follow and tons of stuff I wouldn’t have known just trying to wing it myself.

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thank you.

[@toddcoello6461]

Actually if you use the raspberry pi image tool to flash the image you can set all your internet information before the flash and it sets everything for you. Might be a easier way to show the people.

[@EdwardBraiman]

👍

[@iphlueable]

Great video but I have a question. The X and Y end stops you have plugged in do not show the other end of the wire/termination. So I am left to assume you have a normally open end stop at the other end. You didn't state one way or the other. Presumably yours are in the normal shelf state and not physically switched. So if they are in the normally open state then why bother connecting anything at all? Not connecting is the same state as normally open. Similarly on the Z end stop, the state of the contact was not specified. Can you please elaborate these details? I see no point in connecting the X or Y end stops if they are normally open, and as for Z, if left in the normal unswitched shelf state then we are sending voltage V (red) to to signal (Green) as a normally closed... Is this correct?

[@EdwardBraiman]

The point of video was to show Klipper install. Unfortunately configuration can go in multiple places depending on user preferences.

[@renatobonomini]

Thanks for the video. I recommend dropping octoprint, use a standard raspberry pi image like raspbian, and use kiauh to install klipper and mainsal. This simplifies the install procedure and gets rid of the useless octoprint

[@EdwardBraiman]

I understand your feelings, but sometimes I take people from what they know to something new. If I jumped into Linux with both feet some of my audience would not come along. I think there's another flavor of Linux someplace in my playlist. First I need to get people hooked on Klipper. 90% of my audience is on Marlin.

[@chinchan9]

You had me at " You may hear a beep" ;D

[@stefannetzer355]

Hi Ed, this video tutorial helped so much getting a detailed instruction to start with Octoprint and Clipper. I just see my printer in Octoprint ... :-)

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thanks, I wanted to make the tutorial shorter, but was worried about details.

[@radicalxedward8047]

One thing I hadn’t considered before ordering my BTT octopus is how confusing everything is going to get between the Octopus control board, Octo Pi raspberry pi, and OctoPrint app lol. Too many octo/octopus things lol

[@chev-ord-eep-ota5018]

I have been building a custom 24 x 36 printer. I have ran into a snag I could use some help with. I loaded ocroprint on my raspberry 4 just fine. I installed the plug in for octoklipper and it went fine. I went threw all the steps of getting kipper clone and running makeconfig. It all went fine. I created the firmware.bin file and flashed it to the Octopus Max ez and it chander the name to firmware.cur so I pretty sure it went fine. But her is my issue. From this point the pi and octoprint can not see the board. When I run the ls command to find the address it says there is nothing found. When I try and open the configuration file in Octopus to edit it says file does not exist... What am I missing or what do I need to do different? HELLLLLPPPPPPP

Hi i have followed this video during setting up Octopus V1.1 on my Ender 5 plus which went very well up until now where i am getting " Error reported by printer " Option 'microsteps' is not valid in section ' board_pins' . Any pointers towards what needs done to rectify this problem??

Hi ed Great video btw... im having a problem after flashing the octopus and then getting the serial in putty... it says no file or directory found... why is this... i see your octupus has the powersupply on it... do i need this aswell?

[@EdwardBraiman]

What's the current jumper position for USB on center left part of board. Is jumper cap present or not?

[@christopherrobin8169]

It is present

[@francisgravel6593]

Great! I followed the steps but at the "make" step it says "arm-none-eabi-gcc: Command not found" and I cant go anymore. Ideas?

[@EdwardBraiman]

Do git a second time the step before. Then try make.

[@whatif8741]

instead of changing the supplicant file can you now just enter the settings in the Raspberry Pi imager?

[@EdwardBraiman]

Depends on if functionality, now exists in imager. Normally images are static in nature.

is it working for Bigtreetech Octopus V1.1 (STM32F446ZET6) ?

[@charlescrm]

I love your videos, I learn a lot from them, grateful to share your vast knowledge my noble. I have a question: can this process be done using an Octopus v1.1 with an Orange Pi zero 2?

[@EdwardBraiman]

I've not yet tried pi zero 2 w yet for Klipper. It works really well for octopi after testing for two weeks. It will capture video no problem. I'll see if I can get it running will Klipper over Holiday break.

[@charlescrm]

@@EdwardBraiman Looking forward to the next tutorial =)

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thanks.

[@soundspark]

I compile my firmware right on my Raspberry Pi.

[@angelriosmorales4687]

Will be awesome if you can do one How to configure klipper but from scratch, I'm building a HevORT and to set up the printer with the basic config is kind of challenge. Macros, homing and the good stuff. I'm sharing this video on my FB :)

[@EdwardBraiman]

Thanks. Just need time and cool weather. We have hot summers here.

[@radicalxedward8047]

@@EdwardBraiman I would be interested in seeing this as well.

[@radmin2]

"make flash" loads the firmware to the octopus. You are able to skip that step because you manually flashed with the sd card

[@EdwardBraiman]

Make flash doesn't work unless hardware for this is added. It does work for Arduino.

[@sorinaldea1562]

I guess you installed the marlin firmware earlier

[@bingloveskoki]

Can I power the Raspberry through the Octopus?

[@EdwardBraiman]

It's possible, but I'd recommend raspberry pi be powered seperate.

[@98f5]

that's not a 'dos' window it's a command prompt :D windows is NT now.

[@EdwardBraiman]

For simplicity I normally say DOS, but the correct term is DOS shell. Meaning Windows operating system creates a shell for legacy commands. Fun fact. Windows NT (new technology) is base on VAX/VMS (virtual memory system) which is written by same person. Anyways I generally during a tutorial abbreviate what I'm saying to users to make it look simple. But, yes it's not DOS, but an emulation of DOS.

[@chibisuke6731]

why the heck would somebody use Octoprint nowadays after moonraker and plenty of moonraker guis are available?

[@EdwardBraiman]

I use it on 6 machines as raspberry pi 2 zeros are cheap.

[@n8lbv]

That ARP thing you show is absolutely NOT going to work in most cases. The windows computer you are showing this from would NEVER have an ARP entry in its arp table unless the Raspberry Pi was somehow trying to make a connection to your windows computer on its own out of the box after install- (which is not going to ever happen) -OR- you happened to already know the address of the Pi and had recently connected to it with http ssh or pinged it. It's very misleading to show and imply that that it would magically show up there when in fact it normally would not. If you had never connected to it yet and didn't yet know it's address. All this will do is create frustration for those that do not know any better and are trying to find it this way.

[@EdwardBraiman]

The other method to check IP address is via the router. Microsoft appears to have made a change that makes it not work as normal.

[@n8lbv]

@@EdwardBraiman The method of using the router you mentioned is just fine. The Arp method is not. Being a network guy, I can tell you with confidence that there will not be any kind of entry in the arp table for the Pi unless the computer you are doing this on has had some kind of recent communication to or from the Pi. That's all for now I don't need to keep on nitpicking or being critical here on this. If you never had anyone come back to you and complain that they couldn't see it in the list then it does not matter and who cares! But if they have, then now you know why! Take care. Steve

[@radicalxedward8047]

I didn’t realize you could do two gits to make sure it got all the files properly. Man do I hate Linux. Nothing is ever simple.

[@Potatogambit]

Sometimes it gets pissed off if the window is too small. Linux is ….fun.

[@dev-debug]

You replied then deleted my comment ? o.0 I was simply showing a way for viewers to easily identify the Raspberry Pi's IP by the vendor ID via the arp output you showed. For some reason that apparently made you feel threatened it seems. You could have pointed it out yourself in 2 seconds, especially given the contents of your reply. Your reply centers on telling me where you worked at one time and how that company invented NIC technology. That was created in the early 70's so you obviosuly did not work on it making your reply pointless. That's like saying me saying I worked at the Whitehouse so I know all there is about being President. I won't say where I have worked but it spanned almost 40 years and virtually everyone online is absolutely using technology I actually was actually hands on with. Man don't start a YT turf war over a simple and positive comment.

[@EdwardBraiman]

I normally do not delete comments. KZbin does seem to be doing it often, due to massive spam filters. Some months back the page would get over a 100 spam messages a day, so now comments get deleted often. That's why theirs a Discord link in description.

Hi bro

Hello.

[@MrSocko-bh1jb]

Wait, what? No! Not so fast friend. The "name of my router". Wonderful, wich one? Does the Pi have a router? Can I use Any name, or is that a specific one? Or are we talking about the overprized paperweight next to my modem? That whole tutorial is basically rendered unusable if you fail to explain little details like that. Js.

[@EdwardBraiman]

The tutorial is not about router's it's about what's in the title.

[@MrSocko-bh1jb]

@@EdwardBraiman Are you some kind of idiot or something? Just so I know how to proceed here. You are not mentioning that you are talking about the main router I want to connect the pi to. Only calling it "the router" How do you know I even own a router? I could only run a modem for all you know, so the repeadet mentioning of "the router" is just confusing. I never had a pi before, what do I know how exactly the config. works, thats why I watch the video. Other vid I watched, no problem, I got what the guy was talking about right away, you know why? Bcuz he showed an example of how to do it (you know, tutorial video and all...) instead of acting like you want to protect the code for your debit card, you could do something simmilar...
