Hi, I have a Radiant Lionhead Bunny with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I have installed OctoPrint but I cannot get Octoprint to connect to the printer. The printer works with the Radiant LI package, but I need something better. It uses a USB port that is configured as Com4 at 9600. beyond that I am lost. Does anyone have any good ideas besides getting a new printer?
Thank you
TBH, keep your printer, but buy a Raspberry Pi?
Having said that, give us the errors that OctoPrint gives you and the logs.
The only thing I see like a log is in the Terminal tab in Octoprint -
Connecting to: COM4
Changing monitoring state from "Offline" to "Opening serial port"
Connected to: Serial<id=0x3e97390, open=True>(port='COM4', baudrate=9600, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=10.0, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False), starting monitor
Changing monitoring state from "Opening serial port" to "Connecting"
Send: N0 M110 N0*125
There was a timeout while trying to connect to the printer
Changing monitoring state from "Connecting" to "Offline"
Connection closed, closing down monitor
-Thank you
You might try opening up the included software and reviewing the serial settings found in that software and indicate them here.
Octoprint is set for com4 at 9600 baud, and the usb port is set as com4 at 9600 baud
Is this the same set of configuration options found in Radiant LI? There may be more settings found there like 7-bit instead of 8-bit, for example.
I did not change the computer port settings. They are the same as when I use the Radiant Lionhead bunny - Minecraft - type interface.

If Radiant Li is working on its serial connection and OctoPrint is not, then it would be awesome to know exactly what settings are set in Radiant Li so that we can go to school on this knowledge.
the USB Serial port (COM4) properties are:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Radiant Li Launcher has no settings to change for the USB Serial (COM4) port
This is what I see:
Connected to: Serial<id=0x3e97390, open=True>(port='COM4', baudrate=9600, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=10.0, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False), starting monitor
Changing monitoring state from "Opening serial port" to "Connecting"
Send: N0 M110 N0*125
There was a timeout while trying to connect to the printer
It was only able to connect at 9600 baud, sent an M110 command and your printer didn't respond. It either didn't respond because it's not reprap/Marlin or the serial settings are wrong. Try manually setting them.
You might also try changing the Settings -> serial stuff to turn off line numbers and checksums.
it has a Parallax microcontroller inside... it isn't a reprap or Marlin
9600 baud is ridiculously low for a printer, and the printer also doesn't appear to respond to OctoPrint's handshake attempts at all. Either you are connecting to the wrong port/baudrate here, or this printer is incompatible to OctoPrint.
Incompatible to Octoprint is probably right. - Thank you.
