No serial port found

What is the problem?
My printer has now been running for over 12 months without fail & I always update Ocoprint when it says new update. Then today i was getting this error to the left side near the connection

No serial port found, are you sure your printer is physically connected and supported?

What did you already try to solve it?
I have tried several other USB cables & none sempt to do anything, I haven't changed any of the other settings as my printer has worked flawlessly for over 12 months as it is. So im doubtful changing settings now will do anything.

Have you tried running in safe mode?
Yes, it still says "no serial port found"

Hope the system info bundle can help someone point me in the right direction of what to try next..

To be honest that doesn't sound good. Could be a hardwere problem on the printers mainboard.
But that doesn't mean you have to buy a new one.

Let's check if the printer is detected at all.

Log into your pi via ssh then disconnect your printer, connect it again, enter dmesg | tail -n 20 and post the output here.

That will show us if any device was detected.
If you want to test multiple cables and maybe want to wiggle the plugs a bit and want a continuous output enter dmesg -w.

The output should look something like this if a printer is detected:

Here's an update of what ive tried since my 1st post about this. I am now beginning to think its the main board on the printer thats on its way out...

Reson being, I have 2 identical printers both running on identical RP's. So after i re-installed Octoprint again on the (Green) none-working one with the fault & still had the same issues I decided to start swapping things from the (Orange) working one to the now none working one (Green)..

1st i swapped over the usb cables. Still didnt make any difference
2nd I swapped over the Pi's & still the same printer didnt work.

eventually, after what sempt a million reboots & swapping things about, The Green one picked up a Serial Port. So i set off a few test prints & all was good.

Then this morning after its been turned off all night Im now having the same problems with the green printer again... :sob: :sob: and its still has the PI's swapped over from yesterday. it has to be the printer..

I have no idea about logging in with SSH but i will look into it now..

many thanks for any help given..

:sob: :sob: Having problems with SSH all im getting is this.

I know for sure im putting the right password... but as i type the password its showing nothing on the screen as if the keyboard isnt working.? is this how it works..?

Yes, that's expected. You should type your password and then press enter. The credentials aren't the same as your OctoPrint credentials. The default is pi, with password raspberry. On your machine the username is definitely pi still (this is shown in the systeminfo bundle) so try logging in with that.

Still having the same problems.
But ive worked out out to SSH it was the username i had wrong.

pi@octopi:~ $

BUMP Anyone with any ideas to this i would be appreciated thanks..

:sob: :sob: :sob: Now both printers are doing the same & can not connect with either..

whats happening to them.

is it the PI's or the printers?

I can still print if i go back to using the micro sd card. but this is going backwards not forwards...

please someone help.. :sos: :sos: :sos: :sos: :sos:

1.Make sure you have a data cable and not just a power cable

  1. Give the following commands in ssh and provide the results:
    sudo dmesg -C
    plug in printer by USB
    sudo dmesg

plug in to where by USB ? My PC or the PI.

they are data cables they have been working fine for over 12 months without problem.

The Pi. You are ssh'ing into the Pi, giving the command, plugging the printer into the Pi, then give the second command.

Finally got round do doing this without any more problems...

here is the result, it means nothing to me but hopefully it will do to you.

thanks for any advise given..

Paste the results of running the exact commands I gave.
sudo dmesg -C
plug printer in by USB
sudo dmesg

I have done but nothing at all happens..

unless im doing something wrong..

I run your 1st command then plug in my usb cable to printer & run 2nd command.
nothing happens.

Since you got no solution yet - there might be the possibility of a hardware "hack".

We probably can connect the pi directly to the serial port pins on your printers mainboard.
Could you tell me the exact model name of the printer?
I'll try to find some pictures of the mainboard online and to figure out where those pins are.

both my printers are identical i got them at the same time.

both are Eryone Thinker s with the V2 board as they have the micro sd slot. where im sure the V1 had the large sd slot on it..

this link may help. Firmware For Thinker Series - Eryone 3D

This means your USB cable is almost certainly not a data cable.

they have to be, Ive been using them without problems for over 12 months now. so hows that work if they are not data cables.?

If that is the case, then your USB connector (or the USB->UART chip) is defective on your printer board. I would first explore the cable. If nothing shows up in dmesg it means the Pi does not see a device it can connect to.
