Fail to detect Printer (Anycubic Mega X)

[Bearded_Cobra_48]

Hello,

I have installed OctoPi reasently on my PI Model B+ and want to use it with my Anycubic Mega X Printer.
I can log into octopi.local but when i try to connect to my printer:

This happens:

The Printer can not be detected and i can only select AUTO for serialport

I have tried several different cables and restarted the whole system a few times nothing worked

Terminal Table:

Changing monitoring state from "Offline" to "Detecting serial port"
Serial port list: []
Changing monitoring state from "Detecting serial port" to "Error: Failed to autodetect serial port, please set it manually."
Failed to autodetect serial port, please set it manually.

As Browser i use Chrome.

Thanks for your help!

Just quickly linking the next debugging steps here:

Cant get Ender 5 to connect

If the printer is not listed in the drop down its not recognized as a serial interface by the underlying operating system. Login via SSH, unplug the printer, plug it back in, run dmesg and share the output.

So... install putty, connect to your Pi via SSH (username: pi, default password: raspberry). Then:

• Plug the printer in.
• Run dmesg. Share the output.
• Run lsusb. Share the output.

Also: please share your logs (<- this is a link, please click it)... I'm pretty sure I told you on Discord to share what you were asked to share in the template

... we need the actual files, not a screenshot of the download page

However we can also stop here... your printer isn't being detected as a serial device at all, so apparently it either isn't compatible with OctoPrint or something is broken here. Definitely not a software issues. I suggest you try to google around a bit if this printer even speaks serial.

Also:

Get a proper power supply for your pi, it's not getting enough power.

@Bearded_Cobra: have you gotten some additional inforamtion this reg.?

@gribarian @Bearded_Cobra_48 Might be old news but noticed the original poster had his baudrate at 115200 and im not sure if this is correct as i have to have mine at the 250000. i tried many times in pronterface to connect at the 115200 but with no luck and i just decided to try a different baud till i found one that actually worked (the problem with very little documentation on these printers) any ways im going to try and setup octoprint for my mega x, ill post back if it works, not sure if any of this is still relevant but someone may search down the road....

Edit : literally took me 20 minutes to get up and running and accidentally interupt a print i had going. works like a charm use baud 250000

[gribarian]

Thank you very much for your answer!
I'll try your suggestion and I really hope, it can work acceptable.
Have a nice and quite time and keep safe

[Nerd_E30]

@gribarian Yeah no problem. im new to this but i saw that people were having trouble getting octo to work on mega X and i saw an issue as it turned out mine works great and i thought id share.
