What is the problem?
I’ve had my pi for about 3 years, hooked up to my makerbot. Installed octoprint and basically have had zero issues. On Saturday things started acting wonky, first I had a sudden loss of communications between octoprint and the printer, the fix I found was to change the Gcode flavor in GPX from Makerbot to RepRap, I had never changed that setting since originally installing OctoPrint. I made the change and suddenly things started working again.
It printed fine until Sunday morning or so where i again lost complete access to the printer remotely. I found that most of my Version of OctoPrint, Octopi and pip all required updates. I updated them and the problem continued
I bypassed the pi completely and plugged my laptop directly into the printer and had full comms (verifying usb on the printer is good). I stepped back and swapped to all 4 ports on the pi, no coms. My webcam is working through my Pi and I am receiving temperature readings from my printer, so some kind of communication is happening however when I click Print I get a serial error.
TL:TR So I can talk with the pi enough to interface with octoprint, I can receive webcam and temp updates like normal, however once I click Print I get a serial error and everything shuts down.
