I managed to loose my configs

[MichaelOToole]

I changed my service provider and needed to edit wifi info on the raspberry pi SD card in order to access mainsail...
I thought this information must reside in of the conf but could not find it.

Without thinking, I did a complete reinstall raspberry pi on the SD card and now I have to reconfigure everything...
To make matters worse, I can't find my copy of all the config file (I thought I had), haven't given up finding them, but don't hold out much hope.

I did find a copy of my printer.cfg as I had posted it in a post here on the forum, otherwise it would be much more difficult to recover...

I guess my only option is to start over but I forget the process...

Any ideas?

2.4, stealthburner,canbus,endstop virtual,

Oh wow, that is not fun.

I can only say, always do a backup before you make any changes. I keep a repo on Github in case my PC crashes. I can help you with this process if you like?

If you can edit the settings on the Router you can always make a DHCP reservation so you don't need to set a static IP on the PI.

One thing that I can suggest when you do to setup the configs, if you get an error and say you are missing a function like Autotune, or some LED macros, you can go find the macro or Github repo and reinstall it, and it can fix the error.

Ugh, that sucks. I think you are starting from scratch, so follow the setup help pages. Then go and get your Github backup set up so this won't happen again.

Pas cool, dis nous si tu as réussi à récupérer ta config

I made a little progress, here's the cfg's I had (according to printer.cfg I posted here which should be pretty current)...

• [include mainsail.cfg]
• [include canbus.cfg]
• [include homing.cfg]
• [include fans.cfg]
• [include nevermore.cfg]
• [include probe.cfg]
• [include K-ShakeTune/*.cfg]
• [include KAMP_Settings.cfg]
• [include Adaptive_Mesh.cfg]
• [include Line_Purge.cfg]
• [include stealthburner_leds.cfg]

If I comment out the missing cfg's (below), main starts without errors...

• [include mainsail.cfg]
• [include canbus.cfg]
• #[include homing.cfg]
• [include fans.cfg]
• #[include nevermore.cfg]
• #[include probe.cfg]
• #[include K-ShakeTune/*.cfg]
• #[include KAMP_Settings.cfg]
• #[include Adaptive_Mesh.cfg]
• #[include Line_Purge.cfg]
• #[include stealthburner_leds.cfg]

I looked for cfg's on git, that use the same setup/hardware as mine, that is ( stealthburner, tap, sensor-less homing, canbus).
The aim is to get close and then edit as needed when I go through the re-build process...

To be honest, I don't remember what links/tutorials I followed the first time, it's going to take a lot of time...

NoGuru, we had a similar setup at some point, do you have any configs matching sensor-less homing, canbus etc. ?
Your current git looks different...

Updates: 14/10/25

• [include mainsail.cfg]
• [include canbus.cfg]
• [include homing.cfg]
• [include fans.cfg]
• [include probe.cfg]
• [include K-ShakeTune/*.cfg]
• [include KAMP_Settings.cfg]
• [include Adaptive_Meshing.cfg]
• [include stealthburner_leds.cfg]

These are working after a fashion, not exact yet...
Will update and record process, less I break it again

Install Extras:

1. kiauh ✓
2. KlipperScreen (it's big do I actually need it now) ? (installed anyway) ✓ Did not start, it did on yesterdays install?
3. Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging ✓

Little LCD Screen Upside Down

Same issue as first build, but I can't remember the fix, I thought it was simpler like holding down a button when first powering the display up but I could not find that so went with:
Ref: https://docs.ldomotors.com/en/guides/btt_43_rotate_guide

Spoiler Alert! it did not work correctly, it did rotate the display and touch but you loose graphics driver, so no graphics, no KlipperScreen...
Have to find fix I used on original build...

Unrelated Fixes: (txqueuelen, )

Prints failing randomly with txqueuelen mentioned in error.
ipconfig reports can0 has txqueuelen of 10 but I set txqueuelen to 1024 in /etc/network/interfaces.d/can0

My fix was to set this manually to 1024 (sudo ip link set can0 txqueuelen 1024) but on startup it defaults back to 10, so I run the code manually at startup.
The fix in the linked post may be the proper solution, I will try it next build.

Fix here: See this related post!
