#problems doing shaper calibrate (solved)

Hi
I am trying to run shaper calibrate it runs the X axis test and then stops and tries to do the calculations but it seems the pi throttles itself because the system loads show that the CPU is 100% and the ram is at 97% and it won't finish the task.
The pi is a pi 3 A+ and the adxl is connected to the octopus pro board.
Thank you DS

does it throw an error? even on my p4 it takes like 30+ seconds to calculate everything

old ginkgo
#

No errors at all ,I waited over 5 minutes

Why would it be even without anything happening it's running at 80% ram.

#

That's fair enough but I'm saying even when it isn't doing the calculations and just standing by it is at 80% .
Now I'm having a problem of klippy host not connecting

#

may just be under powered

#

What would I need to put in the terminal to check, the pi is using a official psu

open maple
#

usual linux admin stuff. I usually do top to check what is running and general stuff

old ginkgo
#

I've just found than out
And here is what came up god knows what it means lol

#

looks fine. and what is mainsail currently saying the load is?

old ginkgo
#

right after getting the mcu connected again i rerun the shaper calibrate again whilst running "top" in terminal and python is using 40% cpu and ram and then the mcu shuts down and it says that the timer is to close.

#

so is this telling me that the pi 3 isnt good enough no more to run ratos?

How old is that alpha (ie. Which one did you flash)? Can you try the latest Beta and see if that helps? (Beta 1.5).

Well this is with beta 1.5 it did the X axis and has been waiting for calculations for over 15mins

#

damn that's not good

#

it's most likely because it runs out of memory and starts swapping

#

But it worked in 1.2.4

#

maybe it helps with a 32-bit image

old ginkgo
#

yes it worked on the alphas as well and i have used a pi zero 2 before using the pi 3

#

Thank you for helping out with the testing!

old ginkgo
#

not a problem at all

#

thank you for your work it makes everything so easy most of the time to get up and running in no time

Still need to compress and upload so will be another 20 mins at least, no rush though, tomorrow is fine 🙂

old ginkgo
#

That's great I shall get on it when I get back from work
Thanks again very much appreciated

old ginkgo
#

@proud kettle thank you I shall get on it later and report back

does it really bring anything to the game ,i suppose it processes faster but would that really show in klipper

#

i must admit maybe since ratos went to 64bit i started to have the timer to close on the pi zero 2 and this pi 3 ,i thought it was the pi zero 2 thats why i upgraded to the pi 3 only to still have the same problem.
