RE: octoprint wont conect

When my printer does not connect to a running Octoprint, I switch the printer off and on again and click on connect in Octoprint. Usually it can connect to the printer then. You can also increase the timeout for Octoprint to wait for the printer. The timeout could be too short.

What does it say for Serialport? "/dev/ttyACM0" ?

RE:

Some time ago I read somewhere the plugin "Portlister" can help. It allows you to set a longer delay for Autoconnect. I have that installed and on the value of 20 secs. Just checked the other printer, there the value is 30 secs.

RE: octoprint wont conect

When it is freezing in Octoprint, I restart the printer and then it connects. Had this a few times today and yesterday on the MK4. The MK3S+ has autoconnected every time automatically for a long time now. I switch the Pi and the printer on together via a switched outlet and then it autoconnects at the first time. I have stopped one or two prints today on the MK4 and then I had to do the off and on game to reconnect it to Octoprint.

RE: octoprint wont conect

Okay, I have no experience with Octoprint on a Pi Zero. It is also not recommended any more on the Octoprint download site. I know, Pis are rare now and you have to use what you have. I could probably get another MK4 for the current street value of the pis that I have and that I bought before the parts shortage. 🙂

RE: octoprint wont conect

If you also have a camera on the Pi Zero it is probably just too much for the poor thing! 🙂 Try to remove the camera from it and see if the problem persists then. I think the camera on the Zero problem is mentioned on the Octoprint site somewhere.
Perhaps there should be a PETZ (People for the Ethical Treatment of pi Zeros)! :-)))
