Unable to connect octoprint to printer after several months of no use

What is the problem?

Octoprint is not able to connect to my printer when I was able to 10 months ago (when I last printed).

What did you already try to solve it?

  • formatted sd card and reinstalled a fresh image of octopi
  • purchased officials raspberry pi power supply
  • tried various cables - I'm pretty sure the cable I'm using is a data transfer (Amazon basics) so should be fine.
  • increasing the connection timeout from 10 to 45s.
  • manually selecting the port and various baudrates. (i don't know what the baudrate is/should be) so now I just am always using Auto/Auto
  • restarting octoprint in safe mode
  • turning raspberry pi off and on

Here are some logs I was able to pull. The suspicious one is of course the No SD/TF-Card or error, after that it just continues to attempt connecting to the printer with no luck. This is after having formatted the card.

Hello, should I move it to another place? I thought it made most sense in the networking section given that i was not able to connect to my printer

I already moved to Get Help.

To get more knowledge on your issue, please post the infos that have been aked for in my last post.

I didn't realize there was information I had been missing, this has been corrected thank you!
