#Printer is not ready
59 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
hi, I installed the klipper on the ender 5 s1 (without sonic pad) and I got an error that the printer is not ready
The klippy host software is trying to connect. Please
try again in a few seconds, please help
How is everyone thinking that this is an error? It's right now trying to connect to your printer. Just wait like 20s then you see the real error.....
When you see that read prompt, then download the klipper log and send it
Run ls /dev/serial/by-id in a ssh session
ok
and send the output ofc
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0
I tried writing this in mcu serial:
Did you flash your board correctly?
I took the file from here https://www.reddit.com/r/ender5/comments/118v3eu/klipper_make_config_settings_for_ender_5_s1/?rdt=48910
Don't flash any random binary you find on the internet
Make your own and flash that
but how do I re-flash it?
Furthermore there are instructions in the config you found on reddit:
# To use this config, during "make menuconfig" select the STM32F401
# with a "64KiB bootloader" and serial (on USART1 PA10/PA9)
# communication.
# Flash this firmware by copying "out/klipper.bin" to a SD card and
# turning on the printer with the card inserted. The firmware
# filename must end in ".bin" and must not match the last filename
# that was flashed.
# See docs/Config_Reference.md for a description of parameters.
Are you using a Windows PC or a Mac?
windows
8 gb
Ok, that's good too
Then just follow the link I sent and at the step saying:
If the comments at the top of the printer configuration file describe custom steps for "flashing" the final image to the printer control board then follow those steps and then proceed to configuring OctoPrint.
Just use the steps I sent above
Building the micro-controller code?
Yes
Also send a picture of your printer board. Especially of the thing written onto the big black chip
Flashing out/klipper.bin to
Please specify FLASH_DEVICE
make: *** [src/stm32/Makefile:111: flash] Error 255
I didn't look
But I can take it apart and see
To see?
If it's really a STM32F401
Did you read everything I send?

Don't run make flash
After make you want to copy the file to the sdcard with some random name
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
I should have written make clean
for my printer for firmware, klipper.bin must be placed in the STM32F4_UPDATE folder
how long do I have to wait for the printer firmware?
Where did you get that information from? Just curious
After 30s you should be on the safe side, ig. But it can be different from board to board
ls /dev/serial/by-id still outputs the same?
Still wondering where you got that info from
i dont know
Then why do you think it has to go there?
If you say, it's the same board as the guy from reddit, then you should follow his installation instructions
I tried to flash but it didn't work, then I created a folder and everything was flashed
How do you know it didn't work?
Did you power on your printer and the screen was still working?
Or what was the indication?
the printer was loaded on a regular firmware
Ok, if it still doesn't work, I recommend to write with the Creality support or ask at some place specifc for the printer.
After skipping through the reddit post, I found the thing with STM32F4_UPDATE: https://github.com/alxthedesigner/ender5-s1_klipper
So what exactly did the trick now?
I flashed it again and launched it
