Creality CR-6 SE FW 2.0.1.3. Lates Octopi

What is the problem?

Octoprint is unable to connect to my CR-6 SE

I can see the Octopi / Octoprint on my network and connect to it. I am not able to connect to the CR-6 SE to Octoprint. I also have a webcam that is working properly.

What did you already try to solve it?

I have updated the firmware/App for Octoprint/OctoPi.
I have upgraded from 1.4.3 to 2.0.13

Based on what I am seeing and my understanding, the usb port I am connecting to on the printer will not allow a serial connection. I have tried multiple cables. I have noticed that the MicroUSB connection will power the LCD panel if the printer is powered off but would not think that is the issue. No I have not tried to isolate the +5 on the USB...

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No it did not

Try it with and without an sd card inserted into your printer
Some creality boards got a hardware bug and a sd card seems to fix it

So the fix seemed to be plugging in and out the cable a few more times. I used the cable on another device to make sure it was a working cable on my Mac. And surprisingly it was. I then plugged it back into the rasberry pi and potentially a new usb port. Now to do some more testing but at least I have it working on my Rasp 3. Printing my Camera mount now...

Time to play when it is done.

It was not the SD card. tried it both ways...
