Thanks for the suggestion. I actuallly have an IR thermometer but I had not thought of using that! The whole of the bed is pretty consistent but the perimeter takes a few minutes to get there. That's not a problem unless I'm printing over the whole of the area in which case I will just preheat...

Thanks. Sometimes my own stupidity surprises even me!

I am running through my printer.cfg file in Klipper. When I try to save and restart I get "Unable to parse option 'position_endstop' in section 'stepper_z'". I attach the klippy log. As well as telling me that it can't parse position_endstop, it also gives a value error in the...

Just in case anyone else has the same problem, this is the way I finally connected the Pi wirelessly. For 5 days I tried everything that was suggested or that I could find on the internet without any success. An ethernet connection let me find the IP address of the Pi but even that did not...

Yes, it tells me how to set a wpa supplicant conf file. I had already doen that but I suspect that I did not the syntax right and, in particular, the new line characters. I'll try that one again using notepad++. Wish me luck!

There are two files that look interesting. One is "readme" in "overlays" which is an extensionless file and had to be opened in Bitburry. Its contents are well beyond my understanding!! The other is "wifi readme" which I am going to read and see if it helps. They are both in the mainsailos that...

Thanks, i'll give that a try immediately.

I agree, but the router does not show the Pi as being a wireless connection. In fact, it does not show a Pi connected at all!

Yes, the router is 192.168.1.254 I'll try another photo

The ip address of 127.0.1.1 does not accept SSH. Putty tells me that connection is refused

I used ifconfig to find the ip address of the Pi and under lo it is 127.0.1.1 However there is no IP address given for wlan0. I can ping 127.0.1.1 but the browser says can't reach this page I tried to used ifconfig to assign an IP address to wlan0 which was, apparently accepted but ifconfig...

Thankyou both. I will work throught the process again to see what I am doing wrong.

Now I'm guessing tha this has been discussed elsewhere so please let me know where I should go :) I have finally finished the mechanical and electrical build of a 2.4. I turned on the power and no blue smoke or loud bangs so a fair start. :) Next I tried to install mainsail on the RPi and...

So my first question to the cognoscenti is about the heater pad. My 300 x 300 kit came with a 250 x 250 220v 450w pad. Should I replace it with a 300 x 300 pad or will it make no difference? Thanks for reading!:)
