Predator Printer Serial port

as long as it isn't detected by your pi that wouldn't help

it looks like this in dmesg when you printer is connected (not the same - this isn't an skr board)

[19801.674010] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, device number 3

i found a blown fuse and replaced it now am getting this Changing monitoring state from "Detecting baudrate" to "Offline (Error: Could not write to serial port)"

alright what does dmesg show now?

opertionalllllllllllll

are you sure you only disconnected and reconnected the printer?

Because the time in your dmesg indicates that your pi has peen restarted.

now it says operational first time i see that and connected i think we are good now

I think we should check why the time indicated a restart. Did you restart/unplug the pi or did it restart by itself when you plugged in the printer?

tell me what i need to do :slight_smile: am all ears

Yeah that's what I mean. The time says that the pi was online for 18 seconds at the last entry.
When you connect your printer you should get something like I posted above and it should show a time like 600 seconds because you're working on it for some time now..

I think your SKR board is powering via usb and the pi restarts every time you plug in the cable

Check if this jumper is on the same position as in this picture

that jumper is on VDD and i found what blow the fuse , there is a card from bigtree called DCDC and that is what was causing the fuse blow it suppose to give more amps i guess

I haven't tried that dcdc-board yet but afaik you have to switch the jumper next to the SERVOS_Probe text if you use it

do you have experience with sensorless homing the plugs for the XYZ do they need to be still pluged in even if its sensorless homing ?i learend that i cant have sensorless homing because i cut the diag from the motor drives ( all of the 3 ) so how can i make sure the sensorless homing is disabled ? because the sensor for the motor which it doesnt stop change state from red light to off

one of the motors dont stop when doing home i did G33 and here is the screen

i will open a new thread so i dont mix up issues thanks a lot for your help

ttyAMA0 is only if you are using a direct serial connection to the GPIO on the pi. If it is a USB cable it should be ttyUSB0 for the port

its all good now i found a blown fuse if you can help me i have another issue for bed level i do g33 v3 and it give me pause for user what do i need to do to make it go ahead ?
