What is the problem?
Octoprint stopped connecting to my Ender 5 plus last month after it had always worked flawlessly before, I thought maybe it needed an update, but after update still did not connect.
Changing monitoring state from "Offline" to "Detecting serial connection"
Performing autodetection with 0 port/baudrate candidates:
Changing monitoring state from "Detecting serial connection" to "Error: No more candidates to test, and no working port/baudrate combination detected."
Changing monitoring state from "Error: No more candidates to test, and no working port/baudrate combination detected." to "Offline (Error: No more candidates to test, and no working port/baudrate combination detected.)"
Ever thought you’re going crazy and turns out it’s too late?
I've been on it for more than a week without success, I've read all the posts I could find, but I'm really stuck.
I understand that the Octoprint can’t see the printer, thus cannot connect, the question is why?
Is there a port conflict or something?
I can’t imagine with all the below that it’s the USB cable or the board, all is ok, didn’t drop it or anything, just stopped one day, maybe Covid?
