[SOLVED] Issue connecting to Ender-3 with SKR Mini board on /dev/ttyACM0

Printers and Hardware
1

We’re just trying to get our 3dPrinterOS install up and running.

I have a Creality Ender-3 using a BTT SKR Mini E3 V2.0 board, and the 3dprinteros client running on a Raspberry Pi (generated image from the website) won’t detect it. I’ve tried plugging the printer into my Linux laptop, and it’s detected fine and can be controlled via Cura, using the same cable. I’ve also tried swapping the same cable from the Pi client to a known-good CR10S4, and the client detects that printer fine. So… the cable works, the Pi and client work with other printers, the printer works with other clients.

The only thing I can find different is that the Ender 3 board is recognized by Linux as an ACM device and assigned /dev/ttyACM0 instead of /dev/ttyUSB0. I can’t find any setting that controls what device the client is checking for a printer, and I also don’t see anything about that in the log (even at debug level).

Has anyone run into this? Is it a known bug?

Greetings,

Looks like 3DPrinterOS Client don’t know you board’s USB Vendor ID and Product ID(VID/PID).
You can ether:
a) Get them by running lsusb command and sending the output here as a simple forum message.
b) Create semi-automatic printer addition request from a local web UI of the machine that the printer is connected to.
To do so open the Web UI by typing LAN IP address of your RPI into browser or 127.0.0.1:8008 for a localhost machine.
Then go Settings/Add new printer type. And follow direction from the wizard.

Best regards, 3DPrinterOS Team.

Thank you, Vladimir.

I tried the wizard but it doesn’t work. It gives me the detection wizard warning screen and I click “Proceed”, and it just… goes right back to the same page. Click Proceed, and it spins for a minute and then goes right back.

The device in question shows up in lsusb as:

1eaf:0004 Leaflabs Maple serial interface

Thanks,
Jason

@Vladimir It looks like we’ve made some progress since this morning; the client is now talking to the printer but still showing “No printers connected”. Here are the logs from the time that it received an update:

Alright, thanks.
I had add provided VID/PID to our Ender-3 profile.
Now you need to change the printer type from Generic Marlin to to Creality Ender-3.
If the printer had appeared on page(tab) Printers on cloud.3dprinteros.com, then Tool/Printer Type.
If not, try local webUI using Reset Printer Type button and then Select Printer Type button(can be tricky).
Best regards, 3DPrinterOS Team

@Vladimir The printer never appeared in the cloud; I have still been unable to get past “No printers detected”.

Where would I find a Reset Printer Type button? Once again, as far as the local client UI is concerned, I have NEVER made it past “No printers detected”. I know that the logs show something being detected, but the UI does not and never has.

I’ll try re-imaging the Raspberry Pi and hope that helps.

@Vladimir Ok, that one’s working, thanks!

But we’ve now got another printer that won’t connect. It’s an Ender 5 Pro with a similar board, the BigTreeTech SKR Mini E3 V3.0.

dmesg output is:

Great.
New VID/PID added.
Restart your RPi and the printer should appear.
If not(like it was at previous attempt, for some reason), then try to remove file ~/.3dprinteros/printer_profiles.json and then restart.

@Vladimir It’s working, detected, and showing up in Cloud. Thank you SO much!!
