I got stuck, troubleshooting my #BTT #BigTreeTech #Octopus 1.1 mainboard, installed in newly assembled #RatRig #V-core #3Dprinter, running #RatOS aka #Klipper.
Both #nozzle (#extruder) #heater and #hotbed one do not warm up. Beyond all doubt (using external power sources and hairdryer) I confirmed that both thermistors, heaters and wiring are ok.
Under warranty, RatRig sent me replacement board, which I configured, flashed with updated firmware and got the same error.
I also tried to redirect the nozzle heater power to another pin (see in the config file at lib.tepewu.pl/f/8f1d29fe05d44c…) where I hooked up the multimeter. Nothing happened, when I set up nozzle temp to 50*C - after timeout I had the same error "extruder is not heating fast enough", thus klipper shutdown.
I cannot believe to have such a bad luck to got two boards with the same hardware fault (especially that steppers and hotbed probe work perfectly), so it is something I do not know - and I run out of ideas.
Please, somebody suggest something new. Hjalp.
Having Mainsail console open, I used hairdryer to heat up nozzle and bed thermistors - and the temperature readings changed on screen.
In next round, I delivered power straight to heaters and also go readings changing.

Now switched to C. S. Friedman's That Virtual Night, and the triple awe again,
- of a wonderful complex world it is
- of an intricate depiction
- of a diamond-brilliant mind that created it all.
The older I am, the more of the latter I appreciate. Not that I dismiss the rest.
From my formational days I remember:
It is not about the existence of a time machine, it is about how it interacts with people around it.
Proves true again and again.

Czy w takich warunkach odmowa (jeśli są ku temu odpowiednie zasoby) dania "na łożu śmierci" początku nowej świadomej istocie, jest:
- neutralna moralnie
- pozytywna moralnie
- negatywna moralnie?
I na jakich dodatkowych warunkach byłx gotowx jednak się zgodzić?
