What is the problem?

Cannot connect to my Prusa i3MKS+ with my RPi 3B+

What did you already try to solve it?

Removed some plugins

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Cannot find the option. I have the app running from an env and the yams file doesn't contain that option.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Hello @ebolisa !

Hint: Blue words are links :wink:

Your USB connection seems quite disturbed:

You may try a better USB cable.

You have issues with your power supply:

Thanks! I was aware of the link and that's why I said I could not find the the option in the config.yaml file. Will take a second look.

The USB cable is new and came with the printer. Will try a different one.

The under voltage warnings are old. I removed the Pi camera and that solved the problem.

Octoprint was working fine before I installed an USB camera. It maybe the problem. I'm considering re-inslalling the octoprint files.

#4

Have you tried without the cam?

#5

Yes, I did. The app tries to connect but doesn't lock in and that's with a different cable and w/o the new USB camera.

#6

Where's the safe-mode at? As I said, it's not in the config file.

Somehow that icon is missing.

It should look like this:

I know! It may be due to the fact that I'm running the app in env? I'm not running it from an Octoprint OS.

I just re-installed the app but the problem is still present.
The Pi does detect the printer w/o a problem but octoprint, doesn't.

Got it working. It appears the problem is baudrate related. Changed it to 115200 and started working :triumph:
Thank you!
