Hi, guys, I'm back again! 😫
I've calibrated my probe, but now when I try to home Z I'm getting an internal error on the G28 command.
Scanning the web, I've seen a coupe of articles about this, and one where the solution was the homing speed of Z - this was back from 2019 though, and my printer would home fine before installing the idm scanner.
Could someone please have a look over my klippy log with me and try to find the issue?
TIA

so there are a couple of different tracebacks in that log

This one, which is complaining you're missing a timeout statement for the IDMand then this one

which is more or less complaining about the same thingsome of this points to the IDM module perhaps being out of date

Thanks - I found this bit in the log and looked up the type error on google - it said about missing parenthesis, so I tried adding them around expire_timeout and it didn't change anything. I wish I understood these logs and the coding behind it 🤣
normal sonnet
some of this points to the IDM module perhaps being out of date
Which part is showing it being out of date, sorry for being dumb! Could you highlight it for me?
rare zodiac
it's just a theory from having seen this error before, i'm afraid
normal sonnet
I like theories, it's something to work with! 😄 I will try to update the software, however, my IDM scanner is showing as V3 which is the lastest one as far as I'm aware
rare zodiac
do you have a link to the IDM code? all i can find at the moment is 404ing
normal sonnet
https://github.com/Killajoedotcom/IDM?tab=readme-ov-file#3-configure-klipper-for-idm This is one source, another is https://cartographer3d.com/ and from looking at the top of the idm.py file they've stolen the Beacon code
rare zodiac
yeah, the github repo that first link points to for the install is empty/gone/hidden
and yes, carto lifted the beacon code without attribution initially
normal sonnet
Ah, course it does! Sorry I found several forks, here is one that uses the gitee link to download and install it (the gitee link was given to me by the Aliexpress seller too) https://github.com/michitslol/IDM-Probe/tree/master
rare zodiac
i think it's probably worth attempting an update as best you can
normal sonnet
Do you think it would be a good idea to remove all the IDM stuff on my Pi side of the printer and redownload from the link I was given? I'm struggling to find any information on updating the USB version, so thinking I should reinstall from the source and see what happens
rare zodiac
i think that's reasonable, as long as you have a good backup
normal sonnet
Ah sod the backup, at this point I just want to pull it out and stick it back in again as it were hahahaha
to uninstall would I just use the rm -rf command?
rare zodiac
targeting the idm directory, yes
normal sonnet
Thanks
Right, I've reinstalled it using the gitee link, I'm now just waiting for it to reboot
Same error!
rare zodiac
the other thing may be updating the firmware on the probe itself
normal sonnet
Yeah, which a) I don't know how to do and b) they say to download from the cloud drive, but I have no idea what they're on about - can't see a link to it
https://gitee.com/NBTP/IDM This is the original source of the installation btw
rare zodiac
https://github.com/Killajoedotcom/IDM?tab=readme-ov-file#11-update-idm step 11 here describes updating it
normal sonnet
That describes updating for CAN - I have a USB version
Managed to find the mainfirmware - the last update to that on the Gitee was 6 months ago, as previoulsy mentioned V3 is the latest and that's what my scanner is showing in Mainsail
rare zodiac
Hmm. I've seen you made a post over on the carto server. will have to see if you get responses there, or if someone with direct experience is looking here
normal sonnet
yeah, I found their Discord and added myself earlier after seeing on here someone had the same issue but received no response - I wasn't expecting anyone to jump on in here, so thanks for at least trying - I really appreciate your time and input!! 😄
Just had the most vague response in history from the Cartographer 'designer'
normal sonnet
Yeah, no help there - been told to speak to my vendor 😤 so this, as of current, remains open
normal sonnet
SOLVED - if anyone else ends up with this problem - check for a line in your idm.py file stored in klipper/klippy/extras/ that has "expire_timeout" without a closed parenthesis. It's probably indented on the line below, this will need to be placed directly after expire_timeout and then it will home 🙂
rare zodiac
Ooo good find
