i3 MK3s+ &MMU2s wrong Filament Selection

Configuration:

PrusaSlicerVersion: 2.3.3+win64Build: PrusaSlicer-2.3.3+win64-202107161027

i3 MK3s+ & MMU2s

Prusa MK3s+ 3.9.3
MMU2s 1.0.6
Rpi 4B
OctoPrint 1.6.1
Python 3.7.3
OctoPi 0.18.0

This is really confusing Trouble I am facing. Regularly By downloading Gcode file over Octopi and/or also loading directly over SD Card, The Gcode Tool selection is correct but Physically it selects random slot of an other Filament of MMU2.This morning finally I could catch the case as follow:

Example:

IR_Sensor_State_Window_0.15mm_PETG_MK3SMMU2S_2m.gcode shows

`

T3 is correct, but Physically is Loading T1 on LCD Display showing F2 ` I made the test as well downloading from Octopi as well loading over SD Card. Behave in both cases the same way. It seems that somehow ensy or mmu board hangs. So thats the reason why I do not think it is octopi related.

Over octopi once startet job tried to enter in therminal window T0 with no reaction then T2 right away changed filament to T0 tried as well T3 and it changed back again to T1 confusing....


After Restarting (Power OFF / On cycle ) everythings works again as expected.

checked on octopi that 5 Extruder with shared nozzle is configured.

modified filament sensor with LED stat to exclude Loading Filament Issues

I have noticed that behave since really a long time and my turn arround was always before restarting a job to consequently Power Off/ On cycle, and up to know it always worked.

My question it is permanently behaving again that way, but I could not reproduce it up to know. There somebody got me a tip where I might be look at?

thanks a lot
